ID - 393384 - Roy Woodard (Roy Fairchild-Woodard, b1953, England) 'Crows Last Shadow I, Ii and Iii' (Triptych) c Early 1980s. Limited Edition Lithograph, Editioned 91/150, Titled and Signed under Print Margin.

This triptych, with its white walls, cane furniture, palm and borders which suggest minimalist window frames or vertical blinds, is evocative of both the 1980s and today. This enhances the sense of a moment suspended in time created by the still life on the table, the fragmented image, and absence of shadows, people or other animating influences. The overall effect is of calm and warmth, as of a quiet summer's day.

Attributed to Roy Fairchild-Woodard, who, early in his career, worked as a commercial illustrator and printmaking as Roy Woodard, while also developing a parallel painting practice as Roy Fairchild. As an established artist he focuses on painting and now exhibits as Roy Fairchild-Woodard.

Both works attributed to Hendro Yuwono (active mid-Twentieth century, Java Indonesia). Yuwono is said to have born the title 'Prince of Heaven' in recognition of his status as pre-eminent master puppet-maker and puppeteer (dalang) of his generation.
