Welcome to this extraordinary exhibit of serigraphs—vivid, tactile works created through the timeless art of silk screening. Each piece in this collection tells a story not only through its imagery but also through the remarkable method by which it was made. Though serigraphy is less common in today’s art world, its roots trace back thousands of years, linking the modern viewer with ancient traditions of craftsmanship and creativity.
Serigraphy, or silk screening, is a meticulous process that bridges art and craft. The journey begins with a screen—once made of silk but now often crafted from synthetic materials—stretched tightly over a frame. Onto this screen, a stencil is applied, defining the areas through which ink will pass. Each color in a serigraph is applied separately, requiring a new stencil and a fresh screen. Layer by layer, ink is pressed through the screen with a squeegee, building up colors and textures with incredible precision.
What sets serigraphy apart is its unparalleled vibrancy and depth. Unlike digital printing, where colors blend seamlessly, the serigraphy process creates distinct, layered pigments. The result is a sense of texture and richness that invites not only the eye but also the imagination to explore. You can feel the artist’s hand in each piece—their deliberate choices, their patience, their vision.
Thank you for joining us in celebrating this extraordinary medium and the creative spirit it represents.
