Peter Linde Busk | Nightshades

BORCH Editions is delighted to present Nightshades, a series of unique prints by Peter Linde Busk.

The botanical category of the Solanaceae (Nightshades) comprises a highly diverse group of plants. Some look inconspicuous, others flower magnificently; some are edible herbs known for their medicinal qualities, while others are extremely poisonous. Their appearance can belie their effect – the most beautiful plants can be the most dangerous.
Similarly, Peter Linde Busk’s series of monotypes titled Natskygger / Nightshades conveys a wide range of individual aesthetic expressions and atmospheres, linked strategically with recurring pictorial elements throughout the series, which hint at an overarching narrative without ever proposing a specific reading.

Monotype prints are unique. What differentiates monotypes from all other printmaking techniques is the fact that the artist does not leave permanent marks on the printing plate. The colour is directly applied to a featureless plate’s even surface, which thus serves as a vehicle to transfer the artist’s painting or drawing onto paper.
