New Print Release and one to give away!, by met on Jan 20, 2022 2:44:20 GMT 1,   We're currently busy in the chilly Atom Print Studio planning and working on new print editions, which we'll be releasing over the next few months!The first release of 2022 will be "Party Girl" by Stender, a witty mash-up of the Mona Lisa and The Cat in the Hat.
New on the Urban Art scene, Stender is a self-taught artist and printmaker who predominantly works in screenprints and occasionally giclรฉe prints. Born and raised in the East End of London, and growing up in the 70โs and 80โs he likes to combine popular culture and topical subjects from that era and now, into his works. The name Stender is taken from his proud roots of being an Ea(stender).
A limited edition of 40, hand printed in 3 colours onto 50x70cm South Bank Smooth paper, "Party Girl" will be priced at ยฃ80 and will be released at midday (GMT) on Friday 28th January.
The above, as the eagle eyed among you will have spotted is a digital proof and not a photo of the actual print, I will post that at the end of this week/beginning of next when they should all be printed
Focusing on idea rather than execution, I would challenge the accuracy of "witty" when describing Party Girl.
This was the kind of juxtaposition and subject matter that may have felt fresh in 2003 โ at least in the context of so-called urban art. But it was then rehashed and regurgitated by what felt like a countless array of artists or aspiring artists. To the point where, by 2008, we were left with something which had become formulaic. Cookie-cutter art.
And now, in 2022, the Just add water! instructions have been followed yet again, for a tired concept that should perhaps have remained freeze-dried.
My own stance would be, "15 years too late. Clichรฉd work isn't good enough. We deserve better."
However, there is also merit in the alternative argument of, "10 years too early" (provided we dismiss considerations about novelty). It would mean embracing the 30-year cycle that blogger Patrick Metzger refers to as the "Nostalgia Pendulum"*.

It's only tired nostalgia if you're 45+, for a newly minted 22 year old this is as fresh as a 2007 Nick Walker, at 80 quid it's a similar price point also. Should be welcomed and encouraged. You get back to your Lawrence Weiner and Bridget Riley's grandad |
