Handmade Linocut Prints

What Are Linocut Prints?

Linocut printing is a relief printmaking technique where an artist carves a design into a sheet of linoleum, inks the raised surface, and presses it onto paper. The result is a bold, graphic image with rich black ink and subtle textures that can’t be replicated by digital printing. Each impression is unique — the pressure of the hand, the density of the ink, and the texture of the paper all contribute to one-of-a-kind variations.

About the Null Pictures Collection

Peter Gedeon creates handmade linocut prints from his studio in Greifswald, Germany. The collection features whimsical animals, cottagecore scenes, and surreal creatures — all rendered in bold black and white relief printing. Each A5 print (14.8 × 21 cm) is made on archival-quality 300gsm cold-pressed watercolor paper using traditional oil-based printmaking ink.

Why Buy Handmade Prints?

In a world of mass-produced wall art, handmade prints stand out. They carry the physical evidence of their creation — the carved lines, the ink texture, the slight imperfections that prove a human hand was involved. A linocut print is not a copy of an artwork; it is the artwork. For collectors, gift buyers, and anyone who values originality, handmade relief prints offer an affordable entry point into owning genuine art.

Caring for Your Linocut Print

These prints arrive unframed on heavy watercolor paper. For best results, handle by the edges and frame behind UV-protective glass. The oil-based ink is permanent, but like all works on paper, direct sunlight over extended periods should be avoided. A5 size fits standard ready-made frames, making it easy to display your print as soon as it arrives.
