Gedney Lincolnshire, 1964 art00190858 a heart outlined in red

a heart outlined in red and the word ‘fragile’ in the artist’s own handwriting

His background as an Irish navy diver and an artist-adventurer allows him a profound connection with the sea

This print is more than just decor

Hyde masterfully employs shades ranging from vivacious scarlet to delicate pinks against deeper tones
