We were thrilled to have acclaimed artist Gerhard Marx back in the studio recently. Drawing, sculpture, and performance are the chief mediums of his practice, but a couple of years ago, he began exploring printmaking as an avenue through which to investigate his subjects - thematic concerns that fall under an
The highly accomplished artist Claudette Schreuders found global acclaim during the earliest years of her career. Just two years after completing her master’s degree, she was selected by New York’s Museum for African Art to participate in Liberated Voices: Contemporary Art from South Africa, which travelled the USA. And just
It’s time. On Saturday 13 November, we’re hosting a studio open day. We’ve missed the art fairs, we’ve missed meeting you in the flesh, and we’ve certainly missed introducing people to the fine art of the screen print. Because, while the digital marketplace is magic – and plays a key role in
Marna Hattingh has created a wonderful new limited edition screen print with us. Titled “Moment”, it’s a portrait of an emotional state, an inner world, where detailed, colourful anthropomorphic metaphors and mythological and natural references weave into and out of one another, describing a euphoric, dreamlike world in continual flux.

We’ve been fortunate to work with Nina Torr on a number of screen prints, with her Meet-in-the-making artwork one of the first in our sketchbook inspired project, and our 2016 collaboration titled "Keep me there" a firm favourite with art buyers. The sophisticated line rendering that characterises her work makes for
For those of you who were lucky enough to catch Wim Legrand’s solo show, The Parafix, late last year, you might remember ‘Miami Sausage’ – a marvellous artwork of polyester resin, enamel and duct tape. The installation features a rendition of Legrand’s hot-sausage-dog character, a familiar face that makes a
In this Special Project, Nelo Teixeira’s sketchbook was our source of inspiration – and also functioned as the common language between us and the Portuguese-speaking artist. This most remote of collaborations – across countries and language barriers – was paradoxically intimate, dynamic and exciting, afforded by the immediacy of his sketches,
Our second Meet-in-the-making screen print this month is by Shakil Solanki, an award-winning young artist acclaimed for his achievements in printmaking. His use of colour plays an integral role in his work, which meant that, once again, one of our chief tasks in studio was to amplify the artist’s masterful handling
This month, we have two exceptional Meet-in-the-making editions ready for the taking. Besides that fact that both artists in question are emerging talents under the age of 30, they also share an incredible knack for colour – vivid, luminescent, undeniable colour that plays a fundamental role in their respective practices. So,
From the signature strokes of Michael Taylor’s pencil, comes a very special Special Project indeed: “The Onlookers” – a gorgeous, massive, two-colour screen print edition of just five prints. This 50ty/50ty artwork has its origins in the pages of Taylor’s sketchbook, as an A5 pencil drawing. We were keen to see
