One Day Our Past Will Be All There Is To Look Forward To
By Charming Baker (b. 1964)

Giclee print in colours with screenprint varnish, 2011, on Somerset 330gsm paper, signed in pencil, inscribed ‘A/P’ within the artist’s blindstamp (an artist’s proof aside from the edition of 125), from the portfolio Ghosts of Gone Birds, printed and published by Jealous, London, the full sheet, with a deckle edge, in excellent condition

A striking contemporary giclée print with screenprint varnish by celebrated British artist Charming Baker, created in 2011 for the acclaimed Ghosts of Gone Birds portfolio. The composition depicts a solitary bird poised above its reflected image against a boldly simplified ground of warm ochre and cool lavender-grey, creating a poignant meditation on memory, loss and environmental change.

Baker's distinctive visual language combines delicate naturalistic observation with graphic pattern and colour fields, producing an image that is both playful and deeply reflective. The title, characteristic of the artist's thought-provoking and often darkly humorous approach, lends the work an added emotional resonance, encouraging contemplation of the passage of time and humanity's relationship with the natural world.

Published by Jealous, London, and printed on Somerset 330gsm paper, this artist's proof is presented in a contemporary black frame and remains in excellent condition.
