Description

A modern color woodblock print by Paul Binnie, titled ‘Kemuri’ (煙), depicting a close-up, half-figure portrait of a male with a prominent dragon tattoo on his arm, seen smoking a cigarette with smoke rising to the right. The print is executed in a graphic and bold style, utilizing a limited palette of brown, black, reddish-brown, and cream tones, exhibiting influence from Japanese printmaking traditions. The lower margin is inscribed with Japanese characters (煙), the edition number “35/40”, the artist’s signature “Paul Binnie”, and the date “1995”, accompanied by a circular red artist’s seal. The verso shows bleed-through of the image.
