Blue Flowers
Summary
Blue Flowers is a 2021 six-colour hand-pulled screen print on 410gsm Somerset radiant white cotton, at a large 85 x 120 cm with a hand-deckled bottom edge. Signed and front-stamped, it renders the studio's floral imagery in a cool blue palette across six ink layers at monumental scale.
Why It Matters
The tightly focused blue palette gives this large floral composition a distinctive tonal unity, differentiating it from the studio's more polychrome prints. Six colour passes on a monumental 85 x 120 cm sheet make it a technically substantial and visually cohesive statement within the duo's nature-driven catalogue.
Collector Perspective
As a large-format 2021 print, Blue Flowers suits collectors seeking significant wall presence with a restrained colour scheme. The hand-deckled edge and front stamp are integral to its finish and should be preserved.

Historical Context
Blue Flowers comes from Kai & Sunny's 2021 output and reflects their sustained engagement with botanical and natural imagery. The floral motif recurs across their catalogue—later echoed in collaborative works like the Wild D*Face Flower and Unity Obey Flower—positioning flowers as a persistent thread in the duo's practice.

Their signed, numbered silkscreen editions, often featuring metallic inks, blind embossing, and hand-finished detail, are the heart of the market. Foil and layered prints in small runs are especially collectible. Gauntlet Gallery selects pieces in pristine condition with crisp embossing and complete signing.
How is authenticity handled?
Kai & Sunny editions are offered with documented studio provenance and the duo's signature and numbering. We photograph the specific piece you will receive, including signature, edition number, and any embossing, so every detail is verifiable before you buy.
