SNIK FLOURISH Colour: twelve hand-painted paper originals

FLOURISH’s colour edition brings SNIK’s Grenoble mural into a signed and numbered group of twelve hand-painted works on paper. The artist’s shop lists a price of £950 before applicable UK VAT and identifies the support as 320gsm Somerset, measuring 102 by 55 centimetres. SNIK dates the release to 1 September 2026. The advertised hour carries an unclear abbreviation, so the reliable calendar detail is the day rather than a converted international time. Artist announcement; colour-edition listing.

The important distinction is how these twelve works were made. SNIK describes them as individually painted with stencil and spray paint, using a stencil that took five weeks to cut by hand. Shared composition therefore does not mean a mechanically identical surface. The shop explicitly notes differences in colour and tone between examples. A collector comparing an offered work with the catalogue photograph should expect those documented variations, while still checking the edition designation, dimensions and signature against the release record.

The closest alternative is the five-example gold-leaf version. It has the same stated paper weight and dimensions, but adds genuine 24-carat gold leaf and was listed at £1,250. The £300 difference in advertised price corresponds to a documented difference in finish and a separately numbered edition, not an enlarged sheet. Because the colour version and gold-leaf version share the same title and scale, a listing that says only “FLOURISH, 2026” leaves an important part of the identity unresolved. Gold-leaf edition.

There is also a wider FLOURISH family beyond these two paper editions. SNIK produced a small, unnumbered-in-the-announcement group of works on brass and canvas, offered through direct enquiry. The duo explains that exposed metal, paint and texture become part of the brass works, while canvas allowed looser painted backgrounds. These are different supports and different original objects; the paper editions’ dimensions and edition counts should never be transferred to them. Brass and canvas originals.

The source image began as a mural more than twelve metres tall. The studio release changes scale and palette while retaining the hand-cut method. This makes the paper colour edition a specific reworking of the mural rather than a claim to reproduce its full physical experience. For practical comparison, ask for the actual numbered example’s photograph: that is more informative than expecting every colour placement to match the release image. The shop states that a basket does not reserve a purchase and that customs charges may apply; present availability and the final delivered total should be checked at the official destination.
