Overview
Dan Lichtman’s 2011 print, titled There is No Fear in Love, was produced as part of the Jealous Print Studio Graduate Prize. The work forms a limited‑edition piece created during a studio residency funded by the prize, and it now resides in the Victoria and Albert Museum’s print collection.
Subject & Meaning
The title suggests an exploration of affection untainted by anxiety, inviting viewers to consider love as a state free from fear. While the image itself is not described, the phrasing aligns the work with themes of emotional openness and vulnerability.
Technique & Style
Created under the guidance of Jealous Print Studio’s team, the print was produced using the studio’s printmaking processes, which typically involve collaborative technical support and access to professional equipment. The resulting edition reflects the studio’s emphasis on high‑quality, limited‑run prints.
History & Provenance
The Graduate Prize, launched by Jealous Print Studio in 2009, awards one MA Fine Art graduate from each of eight major London art colleges an all‑expenses‑paid residency. Winners generate a new limited edition print, which is exhibited together annually. All editions, including Lichtman’s, have been donated to the V&A’s print collection.
Context
The prize links emerging artists from institutions such as the Royal Academy, RCA, Goldsmiths, Camberwell, Central Saint Martins, the Slade, Chelsea, and Wimbledon. Lichtman’s participation situates his work within a broader cohort of recent graduates whose prints collectively represent contemporary British printmaking practice.
