I have seen two (IMHO) incredibly cool prints in a restaurant recently. I asked the host about the artist, unfortunately he had no idea.
The style is pretty unique, so I believe the artist created more than just these two. Is there any community that could help me find her/him?
Your best bet is going to be contacting local artists or the restaurant’s management. If the restaurant opened in the past few years, someone will remember who bought the art or where it was from. You might have luck on a local Lemmy community, but I doubt you’d have much luck, since most are pretty small and any given city probably has thousands of artists (assuming the person is even still active or that they were local to begin with).
You could also try reverse image searches online.
The guy I asked at the restaurant was the owner. The prints were donated by his parents in law, they used to have a restaurant in Italy some 30 years ago. He already investigated on the artist himself …
Reverse image search - done :(
Yeah, you’re probably outta luck then. The only other idea I’d have is busting open the frame to see if there’s a signature somewhere. It could be in a bottom corner or even on the back. But that restaurant probably won’t let you bust open their framed art.
It’s possible it was just some guy that the parents in law knew. They may have never sold any work
Could be. My sister studied art up to a level (didn’t go to uni or art college) but I think she draws/paints for some people in her free time. Her influence when doing art at GCSE and a level was a local artist called Terry Bradley who has a very distinct style, I think she would style paint that way now. she doesn’t publicize that she does artwork as far as I’m aware.
I believe it’s an offset print of some kind, which needs a lot of preparation.
Or sadly if they’re even still alive. Time comes for us all eventually.
I guess we need a c/tipofmytongue
To find it, you would need to post the question where there are actuall people from your region. Facebook groups, reddit, some other forum or site.
Don’t force Lemmy to do something it isn’t capable to do yet.
Maybe @craftyindividual can help you?
