James Martin - Lys Standard Edition - Pre-order

About Lys

In 2020, we experienced the reveal of James Martin's Muse, a book that has been sold out for a long time. We now get to show you something exciting! We are undeniably proud to reveal his new book: Lys (Danish for 'light'). This heavy and sensuous art book contains a sumptuous collection of works and selected art created in the four years after the publication of Muse. 

Lys is 352 pages of art printed on Arctic Volume 150g paper, A4 format and matte laminated hardback cover.
