Classic Colours Bornholm Notebook

The Colours of Bornholm – Classic Colours Notebook + Stories  

What better way to capture your thoughts and memories of beautiful Bornholm than with your very own Notebook?

And it’s not just any ordinary Notebook! As well as being superb quality with a glossy hardback cover and 192 blank pages, the Classic Colours Notebook is a unique design from Mandy Stacey with 25 PhotoArt images that really capture the essence of magical Bornholm in the classic Bornholm colour palette of greens, blues, yellows and neutrals. And behind every image on your notebook is a little story, included as a print-out.

So, pick up your pen, and be inspired!

So much more than a Notebook :-)

• Discover the 25 PhotoArt images including some of the best-loved Bornholm sites:  Hammershus Castle Ruin; Hammer Odde Lighthouse; Snogebæk Smokery; 12^th Century Nyker Church; Opal Lake; Salomon’s Chapel; Balka Beach; Gudhjem Mill and terracotta rooftops; and Allinge Church.
• Enjoy the detail of the island in the bright blue of the Baltic Sea; the vibrant greens of the unspoilt nature; flower-filled fields; the traditional ochre paintwork of the half-timbered houses; herring-smoking; and the rocky cliffs of the North coast.
• Understand Mandy Stacey’s PhotoArt process that deconstructs landscapes into 'Colour Samples' that “redefine 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.
• Read the little stories about each picture. Sometimes informative, sometimes inspiring, they’ll tell you where they were taken and why. Sent to you as a print-out with the poster.

FACTFILE:

• The Classic Colours Notebook is an edit of Mandy Stacey’s PhotoArt Series 'The Colours of Bornholm: In All Four Seasons' which is on display in her harbourfront 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 Mandy Stacey said about the original exhibition artworks:

“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 died so tragically in WW2.
• Mandy Stacey is an English artist now living in Allinge 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.
