'Token of Esteem' by Alastair Keady

5 colour hand-pulled screen print, one gloss and faux gold gilding.
500 x 700mm / on 290gsm Fabriano Tiepolo paper with deckled edges.
Edition of 10, signed and numbered by the artist.

About the Project
These sprang from my work on wood panels, where the forms butted up against the edges of the panels. I wanted to do a companion edition, but with the composition floating within a space. I also wanted to explore the combination of relatively loose gestural lines within a tight geometric composition, with subtle tonal shifts. The combination of teal/green and gold got me thinking of the visual language of currency, and the title arrived as a play on that. The gilded form is a mixture of faux gold leaf and bronzed powder gold pigment, and has a lot of textural interest on it’s own. Intended to be float mounted in a larger frame, but can equally be trimmed to mount in a 70 x 50 cm frame.

About the Artist
Alastair is a graphic design graduate of NCAD and the Royal College of Art. He’s worked as a designer, and design educator, for far too long to dwell on. Interested in process and materiality in printmaking, he’s previously worked in letterpress, but returned to screen printing in 2017.

Often found devising an image-making technique, and then discovering ways to undermine, abuse, and subvert it. Loves a happy accident. Disinterested in rigorous adherence to consistency in a world of perfect reproduction. Which is convenient.

'Time Dilation' by Jack Barrett

2 colour hand-pulled screen print.
700 x 500 mm / on 300gsm on Munken polar paper. Edition of 6, signed and numbered by the artist.

About the Piece

Time dilation refers to the seemingly odd fact that time passes at different rates for
different observers, depending on their relative motion or positions in a gravitational
field.
So from certain points of view, time can be seen going slower.
The two overlaps in colours show how the two speeds of time can be both right, the
observed and the observer. The overlapped section is the viewpoint, to see these to
“time zones”

About the Artist

We first saw Jack’s work at his degree show in IADT, Dun Laoghaire, where he showed an impressive dedication to precision and craft. Jack’s prints are a result of an attention to detail and an embrace of beautiful printing which caught our eyes immediately. He was invited to take part in an internship in our studio and has been a member of Damn Fine Print since, continuing to produce these highly impressive and individualistic works while exploring and expanding on his style.

'Magnolia' by 'Magnolia' by 'Son Of A Fox' Brian Giles

3 colour hand-pulled screen print.
594 x840mm. Edition of 14, signed and numbered by the artist.

About the Work
Brian Giles, also known as Sonofafox, is a Dublin-based printmaker and Damn Fine Print Studio member. In a series of new works called 'Layers', Giles experiments with shapes and patterns inspired by the natural figures he observed and photographed in the National Botanic Gardens. Giles has created twelve unique designs printed in a CMYK setup working from his photographs. Last December, the collection was first released with a joint exhibition with Luke Ready in Studio 10.

Creating new colours through layering has always fascinated Giles, and now he's taken inspiration from the complexities of colour and design found in Ireland's natural flora, such as the sunflowers in the glasshouses of Glasnevin. In the wake of COVID-19, Giles seeks to inspire colour and positivity with new prints based on intricate plantlife patterns, embracing an ethos of growth, rebirth, and affirmation, which is innate in the natural world.

About the Piece
An ode to Kate Bush’s seminal festive song ‘December will be magic again’. Printed on Culture Night 2021, with degree of cautious optimism for the end of the year. The black layer is a screen monoprint, paint directly to screen with paintbrush, and resulting in unique marks for each print. The silver area is bronzed in aluminium powder, with a soft brush, while the ink is still absorbent. Playing with the formal language of density and lightness.

About the Piece
Another edition within the series alluding to surfaces and vessels. Layers of textural colour, with a vibrant shot of fluoro pink in a sea of oranges and reds. A bit difficult to catch in photographs. It’s rather more electric in the flesh.

About the Piece
A mix of silver metallic ink, split fountain blues, silver-gilt, white, and vibrant orange on a warm grey field. hand-distressed textures are layered on top of each other in this piece, inspired, and named for the Gee’s Bend quilters in Boykin, Alabama. Specifically the denim work of Mary Lee Bendolph. Intentional overspills and spread have been introduced into the artwork, as well as the retention of any actual imperfections, so there is subtle variance across the edition.

Single colour hand-pulled screen print
500 x 700mm / on 300gsm Munken Pure paper, edition of 20, signed and numbered by the artist.

About the Piece
Inspired by organic shapes and natural forms alongside the geometric structures she comes across in daily city life, Alice's work is driven by two self-imposed rules. One colour only, and all elements must be touching another – creating dramatic mono-colour prints that use scale and closeness to replace the order of space in an elegant, playful and direct way.

Using a completely analogue process she makes paper cut collages that are then transferred to silkscreens for screen printing in the studio. Speaking about her work, Fitzgerald says: “I’ve taken on Alex White’s belief that, in graphic design, ‘no individual part is viewed as more important than the whole design. A good balance between unity and variety must be established to avoid a chaotic or a lifeless design.’

“Through these idiosyncratic, elemental forms, I’m looking to strike a certain kind of balance between order and chaos, with every element part of the whole. 

“For this series, I gave myself two rules: one colour only, and all elements must be touching another, the order of scale and closeness have replaced the order of space in my earlier work.”

Fitzgerald is an accomplished visual designer with her own branding and design consultancy. Her work sits in the permanent collection at Dublin City Council and Fitzgerald has previously worked as Art Director at Zero-G studio and the celebrated Mongrel Magazine.

'Dawn' by Sean Whelan

4 colour hand-pulled screen print.
500 x 700mm / on 300gsm Munken Pure paper. Edition of 10, signed and numbered by the artist.

Seán Whelan painted directly onto thick acetate sheets to create this 4 colour screenprint - part of an ever expanding collection of prints which Seán has been working on over the course of the last year. 

These prints have largely all been made using the same approach; painted by hand using hog bristle brushes and tar-like ink commonly used by graffiti artists. 

The works serve as a glimpse into the artist's memory, a story of a specific morning that has been picked apart and loosely pieced together again. 

About the Project
Our group collection 'Dawn' was put together at during the latter stages of 2020, calling on our Damn Fine Print members, to each respond to the theme of "Dawn" through their respective approaches to printmaking.

About the Artist
Seán  Whelan is an artist, printmaker, and recent graduate of NCAD, Dublin. Sean's bold style captures the energy of quick mark-making, creating his prints from handmade film positives and embracing the textures and lines of the print process.

Drawing inspiration from that which is close to him, Seán’s work is autobiographical. From struggles with both mental health issues and with physical injury, to issues of alcohol and substance abuse and his formative years during adolescence - the work is depicted using light, playful, and often humorous imagery.

Seán’s work serves as a means of diarying his own personal tribulations. The work is an effort to capture a sense of dis-ease, of paranoia, a sense of being broken/fractured and of being trapped.

Aptly named 'Eos' after the Greek goddess of Dawn, with this print Alice set about capturing the colour and forms of the early sunrise evoking new days, new energy and new beginnings.

'Vanishing Point' by Brian Giles AKA Sonofafox

Three colour hand-pulled screen print.
50cm x 70cm / on Naturalis Absolute White 330gsm paper.
Edition of 14, signed and numbered by the artist.

About the Project
Inspired by colourful flashbacks of a night out, Giles works with collage and photographs splashed and overlaid with layers of ink to create images of movement, excitement and passion.

Describing his process and thinking behind the work, Giles explains: “I wanted to express the message that everyone needs to keep moving forward in the best way they can. “I figured the best way to do this was through the motion of dance. I love how the movement of dancing can convey both collective and individual positive energy.

“I’ve been on a bit of a journey over the previous three years, and it's shown up in my work. I think we're all going through a massive moment of change collectively with the lockdown and social distance. It's been an exhausting year for sure so far, and I don't think we'll be the same after, but that doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing.”

About the Artist

Through the process of Screen Printing, he loves to experiment with graphic abstract textures and strong colour combinations, often combining these elements to produce bold and colourful artworks.

This print was made as part of our 2020 show by Karen Browett: Fragments

Single colour hand-pulled screenprint

50cm x 70cm / on Munken Krystal 300gsm

Edition of 8

About the print

“Sleeping guardians of jagged and gnarled branches yawned to form an enclave.”

Memories flicker like dreams.
Cut scene and cello taped together at 6 frames per second.

The past redacts to a single broken landscape.

Whether an unarticulated trauma or a beloved memory our remembrances when retold are non temporal. Forced into linear narratives forms rupture. Grasped like a favourite tea cup, smashed and glued crudely back together we hold a jigsaw that will never be reconciled. Maybe it was never as whole as we think it must have once been anyway.

Through a cut and paste of my own photographs that decay constantly with each repeated zeroxed utterance, the past present and future become a jerking interrupted rhythm. In this the interludes are as significant as the activity. These screen prints are fractured after images that find a space that can exist without possibility of totality.

About The Artist

Karen Browett is a print maker and multimedia artist with a particular love for screen print. She began experimenting in screen print 15 years ago as a means to make economical merchandise for the diy punk bands she was playing in. Having honed her skills, she has become a long time Damn Fine Print member and creative.

Alongside this, she has continued to exhibit her own work and is currently sitting the MA ARC with IADT while working as the print technician there.

About the artist

Brian Giles, AKA Sonofafox, is an Irish printmaker and graphic designer based in Dublin.

A graduate of IADT, his work makes use of vibrant colours, marbling and gradients.

About the print

The work here is a long meditation on the moon, its phases and effects which includes a quote from the classic Coleridge poem. Her approach to the work is completely non linear, experimenting with textures, collaging and mark making, using snippets of sketchbooks, memories, texts and found objects while playing with exposure times and multi media approaches until a new context becomes clear.

The text in this piece was first made on an Adana Press in Imprint Shadow from heavily marked letters from The National Print Museum trays. They were then copied over and over and scanned repeatedly, resized and traced over by hand to include the noise built up by repetition.

The white blocks were made by exposing cut out opaque card. The Moon was made by painting onto an acetate, the crosshatched squares drawn on by thin paint marker, and the fencing was created by exposing fabric netting directly onto the screen. By working in this way and testing each element continuously, Brownett puts her own indelible personal mark on the final image.

About the artist

With a background in the punk and DIY music scenes, Browett is musician, artist and designer who creates her own work and apparel at her home studio called Cosmetic Plague. She’s also an accomplished printer and tutor, running textile courses at Damn Fine Print and working as a studio technician at IADT.

Her works and solo shows have travelled throughout Europe and she’s honed her skills for the past five years at Damn Fine Print where she’s as comfortable working to the tight structures of commissions and professional jobs as she is embracing the more chaotic, playful and anarchic approach that has become her own signature style.

50X70cm one-colour hand-pulled screen print on 460gsm Sirio Ultra Black paper. Edition of 20. Frame sold separately, available in-store.

Welcome was the first solo exhibition of work by illustrator and printmaker Conor Nolan. The show is a celebration of the everyday, taking an illustrative approach to documenting some of the people and parts of Dublin that have stood out to Conor over this time.

“If I had to describe Nolan’s work to someone without any images at hand, I’d say it had the whimsy and heart of Quentin Blake, with the graphic and colour sensibilities of Saul Bass and Corita Kent, somehow managing that magic trick of being calming and vibrant at the same time. The artworks walk a tightrope between the past and the present, telling the small stories of life in Dublin through Nolan’s eyes.” Leonie Connellan, for Headstuff.
