Shepard Fairey - Open Minds - Lottery Now Open, by Ghoul Bones Jones on Jun 3, 2022 17:32:41 GMT 1, I know this forum largely prefers screenprints over giclee because of the artistry involved in the process itself. Seriopress is always pushing the envelope with developing new print-making techniques. Personally I'm also a massive fan of the David Heo print they did that emulates his style. But is it worth the premium you must pay regarding price? That's the question!
Details the Seriopress website:
Price: $1000 + shipping
22.75″ x 29″
Hand-pulled serigraph
6 colors (plus Destructive Printing method)
Arches 88 350sm
Deckled edges
Edition of 84
Serio Press is delighted to unveil a new edition utilizing a proprietary and experimental technique. This collaboration was born from an idea to “destroy” the media being printed on through a controlled process in order to create a textural effect. By printing a transparent gloss layer repeatedly onto a soft paper without allowing the ink to dry, the paper absorbs the liquid and begins to stick to the silkscreen. As the screen is lifted between pulls, it tears the paper in the areas where ink is passing through.
The process compliments the aesthetic of Shepard Fairey’s wheat paste posters that have adorned the streets for decades. Exposed to the elements, the wheat paste posters degrade over time, resulting in prints that are weathered and torn.
