Gauntlet Gallery — Kai & Sunny Print Index
Brighter Days
Summary
Brighter Days is a 2018 hand-pulled five-color screen print on 100% cotton Somerset satin 310gsm, tub sized, hand-deckled by the artists. Square at 57 x 57 cm (22.5 x 22.5 inches) in an edition of 125, it is signed, numbered and stamped and comes with authentication.
Why It Matters
At 125 impressions, Brighter Days is one of the more available square editions in this group, offset by its included authentication and the duo's consistent premium materials. The five-color build in their standard format makes it a straightforward, well-documented example of their 2018 print work.
Collector Perspective
The larger run of 125 makes this a more accessible acquisition, so condition and clean margins are the primary value drivers rather than scarcity. The hand-deckled edge and signed, numbered, stamped front, plus accompanying authentication, give collectors a complete provenance package to preserve.
Historical Context
Brighter Days fits Kai & Sunny's recurring optimism-and-light thematic register, echoed in titles like Boundless Glow. Produced in 2018 on Somerset satin, it belongs to their core body of square screen-print editions.

About the Artist
Kai & Sunny are a London-based artistic duo, Kai Clements and Sunny Todd, who met at art college and have collaborated since the late 1990s. They are known for intricate, hand-drawn line work exploring nature, patterns, and the forces of the natural world, often rendered as flowing, wind-swept compositions.

Their editions are published in tightly controlled runs and have been exhibited internationally.

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.
What drives value?
