Flower 2
Summary
Flower 2 (2011) is a large single-colour Kai & Sunny screen print on 100% cotton Somerset Tub Sized Satin, framed in oak stained black at 120 x 170 cm, unframed at 102.5 x 152.4 cm, in an edition of three. The second in the duo's Flower suite, it renders a distinct floral form in the same pure-line vocabulary as its companions.
Why It Matters
As the middle work in a matched trio, Flower 2 completes the narrative arc of Kai & Sunny's large single-colour flower statement. Its exhibition scale and edition of three keep it among the duo's most exclusive botanical works, prized by collectors assembling the full series.
Collector Perspective
With only three impressions at over 1.5 metres, this is a top-tier scarcity piece. Its value is heightened when acquired alongside Flower 1 and 3. Condition of the single-colour surface and the presence of the original oak-stained frame are the key factors for a work of this size.
Historical Context
Flower 2 belongs to Kai & Sunny's 2011 monumental flower suite on Somerset Satin, produced when the duo were translating their signature line-work into large-scale botanical forms during their peak nature-themed output.

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.
Collecting Kai & Sunny at Gauntlet Gallery
What Kai & Sunny works should I collect?
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?
Small edition sizes, special finishes (foil, embossing, hand-work), condition, and provenance from a documented release drive value. Sold-out, low-numbered, and specially finished editions command the strongest premiums.
