“The Lightness of Being” Archival Print by Louis Shields

Offered is a luminous limited edition print by artist Louis Shields, titled “The Lightness of Being.” Created as part of Shields’ 2018 Dancer Series, this evocative work captures a fleeting moment of serenity and ascension, rendered in ethereal whites and soft shadows against a moody, celestial backdrop.

The figure floats mid-motion, clad in a flowing garment that echoes both classical and contemporary dance traditions. Originally a mixed-media painting on canvas, this print is faithfully reproduced using archival pigment inks on textured watercolor paper, preserving the original’s rich depth, texture, and delicacy.

A timeless and meditative addition to both modern and transitional interiors, particularly well-suited for collectors of movement-based or minimalist figurative art.

Hand-signed and numbered by the artist in a limited edition of 30.
