Dream a little dream

Artspace in partnership with New Contemporaries is pleased to debut Dream a little dream, a striking new limited edition print by British artist Michaela Yearwood-Dan.

Yearwood-Dan is known for her richly layered compositions that blend abstraction, gesture, and poetic text, as well as expressive brushwork and sweeping color that draw from her personal experiences and British Caribbean heritage. She often inscribes lines of text within her paintings – pulled from song lyrics, poetry, or her own diaristic writings.

Dream a little dream is based on an original drawing newly created for this commission. The edition of 50 comprises 40 archival pigment prints with silkscreen varnishes and glass flocking, as well as 10 unique impressions hand-finished with acrylic paint, oil pastel, ink, and glitter. A cursive inscription along the editions margins – You are in every single dream – infuses the composition with a sense of emotional immediacy and intimacy.

Proceeds from the sale of Dream a little dream benefit New Contemporaries, supporting the next generation of emerging artists.

Michaela Yearwood-Dan is represented by Marianne Boesky Gallery and Hauser & Wirth.
