Gauntlet Gallery — Kai & Sunny Print Index
Wild Flower (First Edition)
Summary
Wild Flower (2012) is a signed and numbered Kai & Sunny screen print in an edition of 100. Hand-pulled in two colours — white glitter and black — on 100% cotton Somerset Satin White 300gsm at 76 x 57 cm, it translates the duo's flowing line-work into a floral form, part of their broader botanical exploration of the period.
Why It Matters
This is one of the more accessible entry points into Kai & Sunny's editions: a full edition of 100 at a mid-size format, yet still hand-pulled with the glitter surface that defines their aesthetic. It captures the moment the duo pivoted from bird migration toward flower-based pattern work.
Collector Perspective
As an edition of 100, this is the kind of print that circulates more freely and offers a signed, numbered Kai & Sunny work without the premium of the five-print large formats. Verify the pencil signature and number, and confirm the white-glitter layer is intact, since glitter prints are prone to surface shedding if mishandled.
Historical Context
The reference to it being available alongside a larger original ties Wild Flower to Kai & Sunny's exhibition practice, where print editions accompanied gallery-shown originals. It belongs to the flower series they developed across 2011–2012 as a botanical counterpart to their earlier ornithological work.

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. Beyond fine-art prints and installations, they have built a notable design career, including celebrated collaborations with author Ben Okri and cover artwork for Penguin's editions of J.G. Ballard. 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.
