Paul Binnie Tan Lines

Paul Binnie “Tan Lines” artwork
"I’m delighted to announce the completion of two new woodblock prints, Rabbit Year and Tan Lines. In this non-tattoo version of the blocks, the figure is printed to show two levels of tan lines, from shorts and from a speedo worn at different times, leaving paler areas untanned. The background is reduction printed from a single block carved and printed, carved and printed over and over again in around 19 colors including mica to suggest the wet sand at the edge of the ocean. Many thanks to my handsome model, Andrew, who left San Diego recently for pastures new." Binnie, November, 2024
