Mat McIvor, the renowned Penzance based artist and illustrator, has teamed up with Penzance Gin to produce a very exclusive run of hand painted bottles. Mat, who has a strong following with his work characterised by his exciting murals, posters and print design has taken inspiration from the coast and sea to create a truly original collector’s item with a run of just 10 hand painted creations.
MAT MCIVOR X PENZANCE GIN COLLABORATION
“The wave motif is an image I’ve used in my work for a few years now, which relates back to a style of work I first produced when I moved to Cornwall 20 years ago. The colours reflect the original Penzance Gin label which features Jubilee Pool, and as I swim most mornings from Battery Rocks just behind the Pool, I feel the motif resonates personally for me as a sea swimmer and an artist.’
This collaboration brings together two creators from the heart of Penzance, with Mat’s studio just moments from The Cornish Hen, where Sarah Shaw creates this beautifully smooth compound gin high up in the rooftops of the town. The gin is created from locally grown botanicals to create a smooth, uniquely flavoured drink with complex warmth, clarity, and a rich golden colour.
Sarah says “We are so excited about working with Mat on this, and as one of our favourite artists he is of course perfect for Penzance Gin. Our town is so full of amazing talent and I hope this is the first of many collaborations for us.
We would love to see more collaborations amongst the talent we have here in Penzance. Hopefully we see more and more of this happening and not just for Penzance Gin, it can be an amazing way of showcasing local produce and local artists.”
This collaboration is the ideal Christmas gift – with the very best gin and a beautiful bottle collector’s item.
