In Maria Rivans' newest screeprint, the spotlight shines on the iconic British actress Jean Simmons, whose illustrious career soared during the 1940s and 1950s. Renowned for her unforgettable performances in classics like "Black Narcissus," "The Robe," and "Spartacus," Simmons captivated audiences with her talent and grace.
‘Kailani,’ is the Polynesian word for ‘sea and sky’, Rivans' collage serves as a vibrant homage to the boundless beauty of the ocean and the coastline. Infused with imagery of ships sailing the open waters, surfing culture, sunbathers basking in the glow, and the enchanting creatures of the deep, ‘Kailani’ transports viewers on a journey of exploration and leisure. Rivans invites us to immerse ourselves in the allure of seaside living and all it offers evoking sensations of wanderlust, relaxation, and the sheer wonder of the marine world.
