This set of five fabulous Christmas Cards has been produced by York Conservation Trust, in collaboration with artist Ric Liptrot. A percentage of the proceeds will help to support the charitable work of the Trust within our beautiful city.
The series comprises The Cultural Quarter, The North Quarter, The East Quarter The South Quarter and The West Quarter.
Each card measures approximately 21 x 15cm.
Each pack of five cards contains one of each of the Quarters images and includes white envelopes. The cards are blank inside but have the text 'Merry Christmas' on the front.
A larger limited edition print of each image is also available.
Ric tells us:
I am a freelance illustrator. My work is inspired by architecture, particularly in York, where I live and work. I begin each piece with an observational sketch. I then use collage, stencils using acrylic paint with paint rollers, and a dip pen.
About the work:
There are five prints in this series, which was commissioned by York Conservation Trust in 2024. Each print includes some of the Trust’s buildings alongside other important architecture in York. I have included some statues and symbols of significance too.
The colour theme throughout the series is inspired by the 1920’s floor design which was uncovered in the corridor of the trust’s new office at The De Grey House. This is where the original work hangs permanently.
