EAST END PRINTS MsGonzalez 'Invasion on Vacation' Framed Print

Pride 2022 artworks
In celebration of Pride 2022, alongside EAST END PRINTS, John Lewis & Partners have curated a selection of works by LGBTQAI+ artists. Spanning a variety of genres and styles these works express the diversity of the LGBTQAI+ community. This collection is a vibrant, colourful and summery burst of optimism and sunshine. From bold geometric prints to cheeky photography and graphic illustrations, this collection highlights the wealth of creative contributions of LGBTQAI+ artists that we proudly work with.

A surreal twist on vintage postcard designs, this collage-style print, 'Invasion on Vacation (UFO in Hawaii)' is by artist MsGonzalez. MsGonzalez is the alter ego of Paula Gonzalez, a Spanish artist based in London. MsGonzalez was born as a form of escapism during early pandemic times. Her art is a blend of the old with the new, mixing analogue elements with digital ones, and the odd sprinkling of UFO on '50s travel brochures. The result is colourful, fun and often quite absurd, just like life itself.

The giclée art printing process and 210gsm acid-free archival paper create an exhibition-quality art print with long-lasting colours that more closely resemble the artist's materials and tones. A digital form of the original work is stored and then printed using a commercial printer and pigment-based inks. The print is presented with an acrylic glaze that's optically the same as glass yet lighter in weight making it easier and safer to hang. Ready to hang on your wall, it's framed in obeche wood in a choice of finishes.
