We are pleased to announce a new color woodcut by Hiroki Morinoue.
Morinoue first observed the Brazilian rainforest in 1997 when the exhibition he designed, The Kona Coffee Story: Along the Hawai’i Belt Road, was shown in Sâo Paulo.
In this new print, the artist honors the rainforest in Brazil. The Amazon is home to an estimated 16,000 tree species and is the world’s largest rainforest. But in the last 40 years at least 20% of it has been destroyed.
“Brazilian Rainforest” is an eleven color woodcut printed from eight woodblocks carved by the artist.
