Robin In Blue With Pink

Heidi Langridge – Robin In Blue With Pink

Heidi Langridge’s paintings have a sense of the dramatic. Placing birds centre stage against a background saturated in colour and billowing forms, these paintings are all about the joy of being in the here and now.

“How the birds sit together in my paintings is very important. It is not my intention to depict natural bird behaviour but to subvert it a little so it reflects us. I want the birds to relate to each other in a group dynamic, with some being more dominant or hesitant than others. I’m not sure why I do this. It maybe because these paintings are imitations of nature and therefore filtered through my consciousness. Foliage and habitat are only suggested by use of colour and form. This gives me a way to hold the birds in place and set them centre stage without trying to make anything too real. These paintings are a way of bringing birds closer into my life”.

Heidi Langridge lives on the South Downs and works from her home studio.

What is a Giclée Print? – pronounced ‘zhee-klay’

This is a digital printing process which combines pigment based, fade-resistant inks with archival quality paper to faithfully reflect the vibrant colour, texture and detail of an original artwork.

A giclée print is a high quality fine art print. Archival pigment inks are sprayed on to an archival fine art paper or canvas.
Because of this, Jack Duganne coined the term ‘Giclée’, since it’s a French word meaning ‘a spray or a squirt of liquid’. The term ‘giclée print’ is used to describe the giclée printing process. Accordingly, images are created from the high-resolution digital capture of original artwork. Then they are printed using archival quality inks onto archival fine art substrates. Hence, canvas and fine art papers are used to achieve giclée prints with exceptional stability and lightfastness.
