Mini Classic 25 x 25 cm

The Colours of Bornholm – Classic Mini  – 25 x 25 Poster (BESTSELLER!)

A simple yet beautiful, modern take on Bornholm in the classic colour palette of summery greens, blues and neutrals with a dash of sunshiny yellow and terracotta. This small, square format lends itself to presenting the best of Bornholm in just 9 images. And behind every little picture is a story…

Immerse yourself in the different elements of the PhotoArt:

• Mandy Stacey’s 9 individual “Colour Samples” that capture a small slice of Bornholm life including some of its most well-known sites: the Smokery chimneys that grace Snogebæk; the hilltop Hammershus Castle Ruin; the smallest of the white churches Nyker; the distinctive terracotta roofs of Gudhjem. And the beauty of nature is represented in the deep green of Opal Lake and the fine white sand of Balka Beach contrasting with the rocky cliffs on the North coast; plus a dazzling sunset and the tenderest of spring cherry blossoms.
• Mandy Stacey’s PhotoArt process that deconstructs landscapes into Colour Samples “redefining colour” – a slice of real life in all its 3D glory being so much better at representing that colour than a man-made colour chart.
• 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 vibrant colours and timeless beauty of beautiful Bornholm, the sunshine island in the middle of the Baltic Sea.

FACTFILE:

• The Classic Mini 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 the Colour Palettes for each season, part of the 12-part 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.
