CARTODROMO studio

CARTODROMO is a screen print studio based in Bari, South Italy, specialising in art prints on various media including paper and fabric. The studio was founded in 2019 by Cristina Todisco; an independent Italian printmaker. CARTODROMO works in collaboration with artists to create unique works using the medium of silkscreen. Recently, Cristina and her team have been working on a collection of four-colour photographic prints made for Italian photographer and artist Alessandro Tricarico, with super stunning results.

Besides the classic four-colour and multi-colour prints, the studio love to experiment and combine the use of different artistic techniques with screen printing. “The combination of techniques allows you to create unique works and the artist himself will become part of the printing process creating some details by hand,” says Cristina. For example, in a piece for Japanese artist Tai Ogawa CARTODROMO used spray acrylics for the background, with two layers of screen printing on top. Similarly, for a commission for Chinese artist Tracey Yu they combined watercolour with screen printing.

CARTODROMO are also active in the promotion of artistic and cultural activities through the organisation of exhibitions, workshops, and courses. Cristina comments; “It is a very stimulating part of the job and it allows you to get in touch with people interested in printing processes”. They recently collaborated with artist Boris Pramatarov during a residency in Bari, printing one of his works and organising an exhibition.

As well as art prints, the studio can also print on other media including t-shirts, fabrics, CDs, and wood.
