Rainfall
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Rainfall (2011) is a Kai & Sunny screen print hand-pulled in two colours — black and silver glitter — on 100% cotton Velin Cuve BFK Rives, at 80 x 120 cm unframed and issued in an edition of five, offered framed in oak stained black at 95 x 136 cm. Its silver-glitter streaks evoke falling rain through the duo's flowing line-work.
Collector notes: The saved release record describes: Edition Of 5. Edition-specific signature, numbering, and stamp details were not stated in the saved release record. Verify signing and numbering against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
One of the colour-coded suite of large 2011 BFK Rives prints, Rainfall uses silver glitter to literalise its weather theme. The edition of five and the option of the integral oak frame make it a considered, scarce large-format work rather than a mass edition.
Collector Perspective
With five impressions and a premium cotton substrate, Rainfall is a scarce statement print. The silver glitter is central to its identity and light-play, so full coverage matters. It sits naturally alongside Palm and Spike for collectors building the matched large-format set from this release.
Historical Context
Rainfall is part of Kai & Sunny's 2011 series of large two-colour glitter prints on BFK Rives, each keyed to a different accent colour and natural theme. The rain motif complements their broader interest in the movement of natural forces rendered as pattern.
