Luminous "Lumina" Poster



Kate Horvat
Interns Kate Horvat and Kai Cannon Hill were approached by Lumina Theater to design and print a poster for their annual gala. The finished piece is a watercolor and screenprint variable edition of 30.

Kate remarks: "The quote is from a Midsummer Night's Dream, and David Minton, who commissioned the piece, chose pansies because it was his late wife's favorite flower. Kai did the drawing and we collaborated on the design/printing. It is a 4 color print with a transparent white flat for the petals. We wanted the flower and petals to almost flutter down the page, and we chose watercolor because we thought that it reflected the nature of pansy petals."

We love the palette of blues, plums, crimson with the pop of the orange yellow detail and the radiant, random watercolor. Great work!
