Camberwell Beauty Butterfly is a small-scale original sculptural piece from contemporary artist Lene Bladbjerg. Crafted from hand-painted Stanley Knife blades and set into a black gloss frame, the one-off piece is signed and dated by the artist.Crossing the line from graphic design to fine art, Danish-born artist Lene Bladbjerg's work is infused with a gently haunting character, a bold type and strong composition dominate the frame. For her butterfly series, Bladbjerg hand paints the blades of a Stanley Knife with intricate and colourful patterns to recreate the wings of a butterfly, mounting them in perfect symmetry within a heavy black frame. The juxtaposition of gossamer wing against sharp metal is brilliantly expressive, and Bladbjerg's strong graphic touch lends the series inimitable aesthetic power.

After attending Kent Institute of Art and Design, Lene graduated from London College of Printing with a degree in Graphic and Media Design. She has exhibited in Denmark, Belgium, Finland, France, Brooklyn, USA, and across the UK. She works as a full-time visual artist and a freelance graphic designer. We’ve been working with Lene Bladbjerg since 2016.
We love the way Lene captures hidden beauty, finding it in even the most mundane of settings. Her simple yet bold colour palette instills her work with vitality and atmosphere, giving character to otherwise simple artworks. Colour is especially important in Lene's silhouette prints, with the ink black of the shadows contrasting with brightly coloured skies and backgrounds. The unnatural colour scheme used in relation to landscape and nature scenes is a unique take on familiar environments.
What is Archival Giclée
Giclée (/ʒiːˈkleɪ/ zhee-KLAY) is a neologism, ultimately derived from the French word gicleur, coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made using inkjet printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on a modified Iris printer in a process invented in the late 1980s. It has since been used widely to mean any fine-art printing, usually archival, printed by inkjet. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops for their high quality printing, but is also used generically for art printing of any quality.
