Silhouette Art Prints

Black shapes on near-white water. Every picture here is a silhouette study made at the shallow edge, where the surface turns to mirror and a horse, a dog or a child reads as one clean outline against open light. The reflection carries as much of the picture as the figure does. Nothing is added and very little is left in — which is why these hang quietly in a room instead of competing with it.

Twenty-five images by Harper Sableton, each available as an unframed giclée or ready to hang.

QUICK FACTS

  • Twenty-five images, from two series — Tide & Light (2025) and Mare & Foal (2024).
  • Every image comes two ways: an unframed giclée, or the same picture framed and ready to hang.
  • Unframed prints are giclée on 220 gsm gallery-grade matte fine art paper, pigment inks on acid-free stock, supplied rolled.
  • Framed prints are 200 gsm semi-gloss with UV-cured inks, behind clear acrylic in a hand-crafted wooden frame 0.79 in deep, with an enclosed back and a wire hanging kit in the box.
  • Sizes are square (16″ and 24″) or upright (18″ × 24″ and 24″ × 32″). The figure quoted is the poster; a frame adds a little over half an inch on each side.
  • Each design carries a white border as part of the artwork, so the image sits inset within the sheet — a deliberate margin rather than a mount.
  • Open edition. Unnumbered, not limited, printed to order.
  • Profits support hunger-relief programmes.

The tonal range is deliberately narrow: a wide white field, deep blacks, and almost nothing between them. That is harder to print than it looks, which is why the unframed edition runs on matte fine art paper — a glare-free surface holds the blacks without throwing light back at you, and keeps the white reading as white rather than grey. The framed edition takes a semi-gloss sheet instead, set behind acrylic rather than glass: lighter, shatter-resistant, and sensible on something you are going to hang above a bed or a stairwell.

Framing is usually the expensive part — a frame shop will often charge more to mount a print than the print cost. Here it arrives done, with the hardware fitted. And because every image exists in both forms, you can start with paper and frame it yourself, or skip that entirely. Four of the square images are also sold together as a gallery wall set, chosen to share one horizon line so they hang as a group rather than four separate pictures.

Wear Local. Feed Local. Stay Classic.
