This month we’re proud to present a selection of typographic prints created by some of the talented members of our community. From striking gig posters, to silkscreened alphabets, and printed textiles, check out the projects below:
Filippos Fragkogiannis: Self Initiated Typographic Posters
This self-initiated poster series by Filippos Fragkogiannis takes a bold approach to explore the contrasting and dynamic aspects of written language within visual communication. Each poster independently conveys its message, utilising TypeMates‘ Ottessa typeface.
Spiegelsaal: Blood Red Shoes Posters
UK’s hardest rocking duo Blood Red Shoes consider their current album, Ghosts On Tape, as their darkest one yet, and asked Spiegelsaal to come up with poster ideas oozing that old school horror film vibe. This was an excellent excuse to dive deep into the “what would Hammer Films have done?” drawer for typographic inspiration and to let their hand lettering skills shine.
Benjamin Wurster: FOREFORM
FOREFORM is a new ongoing project by Benjamin Wurster. On the Instagram profile, @foreform, he publishes a new typographic woodcut print every week, for which he draws inspiration from a random chapter of the Bible. The goal is to eventually have completed all 1189 chapters – for that to happen, the project will have to continue for more than 22 years! “I’m excited to see where the journey with FOREFORM goes in the next few years in terms of content, creativity, and inspiration,“ says Benjamin.
Redbellyboy: The Alphabet Of More
The Alphabet Of More is a 6 colour hand pulled screen print on 300gsm Somerset Satin paper by London-based artist Redbellyboy. The piece is a signed limited edition of 100, 56cm x 76cm and acts as a colourful manifesto for making the world a better place.
Larna Mewett-Mayer: Triptych: Redemption?
This triptych by Larna Mewett-Mayer reflects on the narrative of wrongdoing and the human emotions in response to each ‘state’. Meticulously sewn onto the fabric printing, the words “atone,” “forgive,” and “apathy” serve as poignant anchors, inviting contemplation on the intricacies of human connections. The work is intended to whisper tales of remorse and growth, where one seeks atonement for past transgressions, embraces the power of forgiveness, and confronts the enigmatic realm of apathy. With each stitch, the triptych weaves a tapestry of emotions, reminding us of the inherent beauty in vulnerability and the healing potential of compassion.
Federico Blu di Prussia: A.A.A. giovani resistenti cercasi
On Saturday 22nd April at the Parco Fornaci a printing workshop was held and curated by Federico Blu di Prussia. Here, Amelia of ANPI Vicenza re-proposed the reduced version of the A.A.A. giovani resistenti cercasi letterpress poster in a live print session. The interpretation was presented on the occasion of ANTIDOTO: an event that enlivened the environment until the evening with activities, workshops, formations and concerts.
Printed and Pink: Que Será Será
Sarah of Printed and Pink recently sat down to refine a sketch she created over a year ago. She ended up carving it all out, and when she saw the first print wasn’t quite what she hoped it would be she started over, simplified her idea, and tried not to let herself overthink it. She comments; “When I had finished carving the new version, I was so excited – even more so when I saw the first print!” Sarah used a high-contrast font and left some markings to add character. “It felt like it was finally what I had envisioned. This project taught me to embrace the unexpected and to accept that it is okay to start again,” says the printmaker.
