Teasemade exhibition



Recent visit to this exhibition gave another insight to a contemporary artist taking influences fro 1950's styles and bringing them bang up to date. Works by Peskimo and Chris Dickason build on characters - maybe suggested by comics, every day life, situations etc. Whilst some work is screen printed much on display were digital prints on archival paper and available to buy at A4, A3 and A2 sizes. It is interesting that with a more recent resurgence of screen printing that more and more artists seem to be adopting techniques in 'photoshop' such as distressing layers to emulate historical effects of the mechanical printing processes
