[Sold] Hundertwasser hand-painted fountain pen
R11,000
Val Myburgh took inspiration from the bright colours, iconic lollipop trees, higgledy-piggledy buildings and onion-shaped houses that were part of Friedensreich Hundertwasser’s distinctive style. He was an Austrian artist, with a doctorate in architecture, an ecological activist and a philosopher. According to his eponymous website, he was an important member of the international avante garde movement in Paris in the 1950s. Val, who similarly loves bold colours and quirky figures, has given his style her own interpretation, and this pen is bound to become a collector’s item.
The fountain pen was made by us at Stanford Pen Studio, painted by Val then coated in a clear resin by ourselves and given its final shape, polished, and buffed. We have added a ghost-green grip section, as well as a bronze section ring and cap band, and our logo medallion is embedded in the cap finial.
Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art. No-one else will ever own an identical pen.
Nib:
Available in Jowo #6 in polished steel. Please select Fine, Medium or Broad at the check-out.
The Jabulani model
SPECIFICATIONS
This is a gently curvaceous model, with a girth of 16 mm (0,6”), narrowing to a 10,7 mm (0,4”) grip section. The relatively large size of the model is to allow the artist sufficient space for their artwork, and the artwork is encased in a layer of clear resin to protect it from getting damaged during day-to-day use. Our logo medallion is embedded in the cap finial which is ever-so-slightly rounded, and the barrel finial is ever-so-slightly conical. The cap is a flush-fit and does not post. The Jabulani model usually comes with a hand-made, cap band and section ring in either Argentium silver or bronze, though this may differ depending on what best suits the artwork. Custom hand-crafted roll stops can be added.
