Post 12 - Screenprinting




Artist: Mateusz Gapski (behance galleryblog)
Title: Battle Ship; Bird Kage; Pandora Box
Medium: screenprint on board
Size: 90x90cm

Gapski lives in Turek, Poland and focuses on graffiti, drawing, and painting.
The screenprints are really graphic looking and beautiful. Bold use of color and contrasting color in the first picture. Less so in the second one where it's used more to emphasize certain aspects on the face and hands. The last has the most subdued colors, though they are again used to draw attention to facial features and key objects.

Artist: Margaret Lanzetta
Title: Dharma Index (pink) & Dharma Index (red)
Medium: Screen print; acrylic and digital ink on paper
Size: 44x45" & 57x82"

Lanzetta "draws inspiration from Buddhism, nature, Islamic architecture, industry and sixty's pop culture."
Same pattern repeated with slightly different placement and slight color variation over different mosque floor plans. It looks like the different individual pieces are then assembled together so the overall pattern can be seen.
