Jakub Sýkora (Original graphics)

Product detailed description

Telegraphic. You can have a unique piece of art with real artistic value in your home. The serigraph by Czech artist Jakub Sýkora are based on his interest in the relationship between the real and virtual worlds. A regular pink grid creates the impression of a digital space into which sharp geometric shapes enter.

The printing technique of serigraphy (or screen printing) consists of a process in which the ink is pushed through a fine mesh onto the printing surface. The technique first appeared more than a thousand years ago in China, but gained its greatest popularity during the Pop Art era, when artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein made it famous. Telegraphing offers you a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with the work of contemporary artists. Each print in this limited edition reflects the unique approach and personal vision of its creator. Explore the full range of telegraphs and get a piece of an inspiring world with increasing artistic value to take home with you.
