A little bit of Movie Madness this week – gather round for these film inspired prints premiering at The Red Door Gallery. If you’re a fan of film then you’ll be thrilled by these design marvels – from cult classics to Scottish staples, and golden oldies there is something for everyone to enjoy!
The Trainspotting screenprint by Barry D Bulsara. A brilliant and contemporary print that captures this well-loved film with super style and elegance. A film by Danny Boyle which hit our cinema screens in 1996, it featured iconic parts of Edinburgh, a great soundtrack and some unforgettable cinema moments. This print is an ideal gift for any fan of this fantastic film!
Mr Kong by Charlotte Farmer is of course inspired by those well known King Kong movies. First appearing in 1933, the King Kong story has been remade by the movie biz over 10 times in various forms. We just love him! This screen print by Charlotte Farmer is unique with its float mounted Snow Globe illustration, giving it a 3D relief feel!
The Royal Tenenbaums by And Smile is a lovely print. It brings to life the on-screen romance between Margot and Richie with that signature And Smile illustration style. Wes Anderson films are highly visual with vivid colour pallets and superbly, stylised scenery – so an artistic print is a great way to celebrate a favourite Wes film, The Royal Tenenbaums!
Wee Pal Mug by The Grey Earl features the famous crime fighting duo Batman and Robin. Fill this wonderful mug with a good cup of tea or coffee and settle down to a bit of Batman! Whether it’s the rather enjoyable films from the 1990’s, the more recent blockbusters starring Ben Affleck or even those fantastic animated cartoons! This Wee Pal illustration is available in a print too!
Jaws screenprint by Crispinn Finn features carefully selected key objects that can be found in that classic film Jaws (maybe you’ve heard of it?!). The objects have been stylishly recreated in graphic form, with nods to those involved behind the scenes as well as in front of the camera. This print really celebrates the art of design in film making and is sure to resonate with fans of film. It also comes with an ‘Object List’ so you can look out for them the next time you watch Jaws!
The Dude screenprint by Barry D Bulsara is another example of Bulsara’s brilliant ability to capture a piece of movie magic in a totally cool and contemporary way. This print elegantly incorporates Kahlua, Bowling and The Big Lebowski himself. The film’s main character, ‘The Big Lebowski’ is played by the great Jeff Bridges and the creation of directors Joel and Ethan Cohen. 🙂
