Summer Skinny Palette 23 x 50 cm

The Colours of Bornholm – Summer Mini Colour Palette – 23 x 50 Poster

A fresh, modern take on Bornholm in its finest Summer colours. This small, slim format lends itself to presenting the perfect Summer edit. In just 8 images, the intense blues, greens, and bright sunshine yellow capture the essence of Bornholm. And behind every little picture is a story…

Immerse yourself in the different elements of the PhotoArt:

• Mandy Stacey’s 8 individual “Colour Samples” that capture a small slice of Bornholm life in the Summer months: Hammershus Castle Ruin on its bright green hilltop; the 12^th Century white churches against the bluest of summer skies; the hypnotising deep green of Opal Lake; and Balka Beach inviting you to its white silica sands and crystal blue waters.
• The Colour Samples that “redefine colour”, laid out as a mini Summer palette – a slice of real life in all its 3D glory being so much better at representing that colour than a man-made chart.
• The expressive colour names that give greater insight into the Colour Samples.
• The little stories about each picture. Sometimes informative, sometimes inspiring, they’ll tell you where they were taken and why. Sent as a print-out with the poster.

The different coloured images all come together in a harmonious composition, evoking the intense, vibrant colours and timeless soul of beautiful Bornholm in Summer.

FACTFILE:

• The Summer Palette is an edit of Mandy Stacey’s PhotoArt Series “The Colours of Bornholm: In All Four Seasons” which is on display in her Gallery “The House of Many Colours” in Allinge.
• It is taken from part 1 of her 3-part Summer series, where the famous Bornholm artist Oluf Høst (1884-1966) plays an inspirational role in the artworks, with their parallel colour palettes for each season.
• This is what she has to say about the original exhibition artwork:

“I fell in love with Bornholm in the summer of 2022. It was easy. The vibrant colours, the breath-taking beauty of the nature, the ageless charm of the place. And then I discovered the famous artist Oluf Høst’s paintings of Bornholm, capturing the same scenes in the same bright colours, and it inspired me to create a PhotoArt series celebrating the colours of Bornholm in all four seasons.”

• Her interest in Oluf Høst was rewarded with an exhibition in The Oluf Høst Museum in 2023 using her PhotoArt to tell the fascinating story of the artist’s son Ole W. Høst who tragically died in WW2.
• Mandy Stacey is an English artist now living in Sandvig with her Danish husband and business partner Curt Stavis. As well as creating her PhotoArt, they both have a company Bornholm365 to develop business and tourism on the island all year round.
