About this work

This print shows a whisky bottle label for "Haig Gold Label" inside a black rectangle. The word "TEL" is cut out in bold, uneven letters above it, and a blue shape wraps around the sides like a hand holding the label. The label itself has a circular design with numbers and text. The blue shape looks like a rough, uneven hand gripping the label, adding a strange, almost playful touch. The artist used a mix of black, white, and blue to create sharp contrasts. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists create prints like this.
