Aida
'Stag'

Since embryonic state, Aida has been printing. She wishes to continue until the day she dies. This energy and enthusiasm for her craft is no doubt noticeable in the artist’s work, which has been featured in numerous high profile design publications. She passes on her huge knowledge of screen-printing as a tutor at the University of the Arts London, whilst as ‘screen-printess’ to the stars she works alongside some of the most prolific street artists of our time.

This image is inspired by a collection of t-shirts produced in 2007. The use of animal heads has been a regular subject matter for me to explore and I wanted this image to be bold, graphic and commanding. The image, although not really 3D, gives the illusion that the image is jumping out towards the on looker.

A five colour, hand screen-printed artwork by the artist featuring a solid layer with a Gold printed background. The Gold ink is made from pure, non-oxidising bronze powders that retain their brilliance and density after they have been printed. The carefully sized half tone dots are layerd to give the “illusion” of being photographicaly reproduced in a tradional sence of a CMYK print. Each screen print is hand pulled giving every print their own identity.
