Sea Life 1000-Piece Puzzle, John Derian
John Derian, the Boston-born artist and designer, has been reviving 18th- and 19th-century prints since 1989. In his New York studio, he hand-cuts and applies them onto glass plates, trays, and paperweights—the meticulous art of decoupage. His East Village boutiques have been featured in Vogue and The World of Interiors.
From his extensive archive comes this plate from a nineteenth-century natural history encyclopedia: an undersea garden of corals, seaweeds, and marine life, rendered with naturalist precision and printed in the gentle tones of chromolithography, the historical colour printing technique of the Victorian era.
Published by Artisan as part of the John Derian Paper Goods collection. One thousand pieces, accompanied by an art print reproduction, offering a contemplative journey into an ocean world from over a century ago.
