This summer, the galleries at Civilian Art Projects will be overflowing with unique and distinct approaches to screen-printing. The artists curated by Panache -- Bert Bergen, Alexander Campaz, Brian Chippendale, Rob Corradetti, Nat Damm, Sohale Darouian aka 333, El Jefe Design, E*Rock, Jesjit Gill, Gunsho, Kayrock and Wolfy, Jason Killinger, Planaria Designs, Seripop, Urban Inks and Zeloot approach the print from an individual perspective, bringing to the work a unique “eye burner” aesthetic (a phrase used by Urban Inks, one of the design groups in the exhibition), as heard by the curator.
According to Panache, “the vibrant colors and bold contrasts compounded with multiple layers of patterns and screens, adds a discombobulating visual effect on the viewer. Each poster ‘pops’ or ‘screams’ out at you, and is unique from the next print because each one is individually produced through its own screening process. This creates a freedom in the work that lends the artist a medium that has no boundaries, limitations or defined lines. Hopefully making you stop and think or at least take a second glance at what's in front of you and the world around you."
