Mini Prints 2025

Andrew Scott's 'Mini Prints 2025' are unframed A4 prints of his conceptual illustrations, issued by Stowe Gallery as a timed edition in its 2025 Mini Print Show. They mix new drawings such as 'The Scarecrow' and 'The Mechanic' with revised older ideas, among them 'Off Kilter', each printed at 29.7 x 21 cm on paper with a deckled edge.

All Mini Prints 2025 Works By Andrew Scott (8)

Significance & Analysis

This release is Scott's deliberate return to drawing without the frame. In August 2025 he posted 'The Mechanic' as a step "back into my first love, conceptual illustrations", the "visual plot twists that turn symbolic imagery on its head" that filled his practice before the frame experiments. 'The Scarecrow' followed in September, drawn in pastel pencil and charcoal, and he announced that a handful of these illustrations would appear as mini prints.

The images work by turning a familiar symbol against itself. Scott's own examples from the release are a scarecrow befriending a flock of crows and a cuckoo clock bird breaking free from what he called its "Sisyphusian life", stuck in the same loop like the figure in the Greek myth.

Off Kilter, revised

'Off Kilter' links the set to the start of his frame work. Scott described the concept as one of his earliest frame experiments, made when he had only worked with broken glass. He revised the piece in 2025 and issued it here as a smaller print, unframed and unsigned.

The release

Stowe Gallery's Mini Print Show ran from 24 October to 17 December 2025, with 245 mini prints by 27 artists, all sold as timed editions that would not be printed again. Scott kept his prints unframed and at A4, far smaller than his usual work, so that he could offer them at a low price.

The set follows 'Mini Prints 2024', which reissued his older drawings at a larger size. This time he added newly drawn work to the revised ideas.

What Size and Paper Are the Mini Prints 2025 Editions?

Each is a print on paper with a deckled edge, measuring 29.7 x 21 cm (A4), embossed on the front and sold unframed. All were timed editions, available only from 24 October to 17 December 2025, with no edition size announced.

How Is Waiting P. II Different From Waiting?

They are separate prints. 'Waiting' is one of the 2024 mini prints, a giclée at 41.5 x 28.5 cm with hand-torn edges, reproducing a drawing from 2022. 'Waiting P. II' belongs to this 2025 set and has its A4 size and deckled edge.

Is A Daily Cloud by Andrew Scott?

Yes. 'A Daily Cloud' in this set is an Andrew Scott mini print. It shares its name with Chris Judge's daily art project 'A Daily Cloud', which also had mini prints in the same Stowe Gallery show, but the two are unrelated works by different artists.

Why Is It Called Off Kilter?

Because the work is built to look as though it has slipped. When the original first hung in a local gallery, a visitor alerted the owner that the art had broken loose and was hanging off-kilter. "I guess the concept didn't land for her," Scott said.
