Behind the Scenes: Fleur Dempsey, 'Yellow and' and 'Blue and'

Inspired by the colours of the sun and sky, Fleur Dempsey’s ‘Yellow and’ and ‘Blue and’ screenprinted limited editions were printed using positives Dempsey carefully painted at our studio and specially formulated inks. In her new screenprints, bands of impasto skirted by ruled lines of graphite ink beautifully translate the materiality and gesture of her paintings to print.

Screenprinting requires the creation of stencils from positive images on transparent sheets. When creating autographic screenprints, artists can create entirely original artworks specific to the medium. By drawing, painting, and splattering, the artists' mark-making vocabularies are evidenced in the printed layers of each edition.
