Blockheads Hannah & Clint’s new art range: Women star

It’s been two years since former Blockheads Hannah and Clint Amos debuted their first art print range in collaboration with Melbourne based artwork retailer Artist Lane. And the busy couple (who are now parents to three children since the arrival of their son Archie nine months ago) are back with a new range. It’s a great mix of art and on-trend photography that’s akin to the rooms the couple delivered on the show – sleek and modern with a feminine twist.

“We had such an overwhelming response with our first collection, and we can’t wait to share this beautiful collaboration. Our love for watercolour lives on and it’s no surprise that blush pink remains the dominant colour in the collection,” says Hannah. But the collections also features brighter, more playful works than the last, and the couple has added a few new artists to the entirely female stable too.

“Funnily enough I wouldn’t say working with only female artists was intentional. We just naturally gravitated towards those artists and their creativity. That being said, working with female talent has always been important to me. When women support each other, incredible things happen!” says Hannah. Fern Siebler, Taylor Lee, Renee Tohl, Jenna Paige and Ani Ipradjian are just some of the artists with work in the range.

A diverse collection, there’s landscape photographs (both aerial and more traditional) as well as painterly watercolour works and bolder pieces. “It’s the right balance of feminine yet the moody hues and inky blues add that masculine feel. Modern, soft florals round out the collection and coastal vibes take us back to our Queensland roots,” says Hannah. Fittingly, Clint’s favourite piece ‘On The Beach’ is an aerial landscape shot that conjures a bright summer’s day on the sand.

Hannah also drew on her travels in Morocco with the location featuring in a couple of pieces (‘Moorish’ and ‘Moorish 2’) – the terracotta hue is decidedly on-trend. “That piece features the Pantone Colour of the Year coral and my all-time favourite peachy hues of terracotta and dusty pink,” says Hannah.

One of Hannah’s favourite pieces is Jenna Paige’s ‘Teal Love’ which is a fabulous and fail-safe mix of deep green and pink. “Jenna joins our team as one of our featured artists and her artwork is simply divine! Her artwork is highly inspired by the ocean and the other wonders that mother nature offers us,” says Hannah.

2017 Blockheads Hannah & Clint debut art print range

Drawing inspiration from the latest fashion and home décor trends, former Blockheads Hannah and Clint Amos have debuted their first art print range in collaboration with Melbourne based artwork retailer Artist Lane. The ‘Hannah & Clint collection’ is comprised of 30 pieces that were curated by the couple and features the work of emerging artists Fern Siebler, Maggi McDonald and Renee Tohl.

“We were fortunate enough to use some Artist Lane pieces in a few challenges and room reveals on The Block. When they reached out to see if we might be interested in collaborating, I just couldn’t say no. We were able to take full creative control over the artists and the photographic prints that we selected,” says Hannah who starred in last year’s season of the reality show.

“We sat down with Artist Lane and discussed artists and trends that we would like to see in the collection. The collection features an array of categories including art from three amazing artists, Fern Siebler, Maggi McDonald, and Renne Tohl, and beautiful on-trend photography. We knew the only way this would work is if we personally selected each piece. It was important to us that the collection tells a story. From there it was really just a process of elimination.”

“Comprised of photography and artwork, the collection has an underlying theme of soft blush tones with a handful of bold statement pieces to round it out. We love all 30 pieces! And they all serve different purposes depending on where and how you style them in your home or office. They all provoke your emotions in different ways but if we had to pick one hero piece it would be ‘Make Me Blush’ by Fern Siebler. Her signature use of watercolour with metallics add depth and movement to every piece she commits to.”
