We’re proud to once again be showcasing a selection of awesome projects by the talented members of our community! This month we are presenting an array of screen print projects, from patterned jumpers, to multi-layered prints. Check out the work below:
Sunnu Rebecca Choi: Secrets Exposed Secrets Exposed is a series of 7 illustrations, screen printed and packaged in a ‘secret’ box by Sunnu Rebecca Choi. The printmaker tells us; “The inspiration for the series came from the differences between the person and the image of the person, the tension between being and seeming”. Each work is set in a particular time and public space throughout the day, revealing a person’s emotional states and inner thoughts.
Redbellyboy: Women Of The World Take Over – Gold Edition The original edition of Women Of The World Take Over was selected by Grayson Perry as part of The RA Summer Exhibition 2022. It sold out in under a week! This is the 2nd edition, and is hand finished with 24 carat gold leaf. The text is taken from the Scottish poet Ivor Cutler’s song Women Of The World Take Over. Redbellyboy comments; “However, I thought simply ‘taking over’ was too easy for these times and that they would have to do it by force, so I added ‘RISE UP’. But don’t worry, if women do take over the future is bright. That’s why she’s wearing sunglasses.”
Aalok Trivedi: Composition Series This series of four abstract screen prints explores the relationship between rigid structure and organic chaos. Much of Aalok’s work centres around mental health and inner dialogues we have as we deal with conflict. With each print, he strives to balance the thought of wanting control with letting in the unexpected, natural elements of life. The series also showcases the varied textures and patterns you can achieve with screen printing. All four limited edition, original prints are available in his shop.
Isabelle Lin: Bouquet After a long period of focusing on linocut and drypoint, printmaker Isabelle Lin wanted to return to screen printing, thus created this small ink drawing to turn into a silkcreen stencil. “I was worried that the finer details would not expose properly if I drew to size, so I chose to draw at a smaller format and enlarge a high resolution scan to reduce the risk,” says the artist. It is printed with Speedball shimmering screenprinting inks on 220g Munken paper.
Abi Prints: Tiger For this year’s 20:20 Print Exchange by Hot Bed Press, Abi created a three layer Screen Print called Tiger. Abi felt inspired to create a piece based on abstract forms, using slightly transparent inks to build up the depth within the print. Printed onto 100% recycled cotton rag paper, the quality and the textures are beautiful, adding to the metallic and neon paints used.
Lopez&SonPGH: 2022 This year, Lopez & Son moved to making more complex designs by pushing their limits with colour and shape. “We wanted to make prints that draws everyone’s eyes to them, making a focal point for any room or gallery,” state the duo. These designs are inspired by the Buddhist art of Mandalas, colourful imagery used for meditation. By doing this they hope to make their pieces more than decor, but a form of contemplation for the individual.
Dungarees & Squeegees: Jazzy Shapes Autumnal Sweatshirt This jazzy jumper is super thick luxuriousness, and also vegan approved. Five colour screen print using waterbased inks on organic cotton, printed by hand in Dungarees & Squeegees’ studio in Shropshire. This sweatshirt works for all seasons, but looks especially awesome when the leaves fall. “Made with our brand shapes so all the cool kids will know you’re repping Dungarees + Squeegees!”
