Mark Ther (screenprint)

Product detailed description

 Telegraphic. You can have a unique piece of art with real artistic value in your home. Mark Ther's serigraph with the Garfield motive was created on the occasion of the May exhibition at the Telegraph Gallery in 2022. At that time, the 250 m2 exhibition space in Olomouc was transformed into a villa whose visual appearance copied the look of the 1980s in East Germany. Mark Ther was strongly inspired by his own origins and childhood, which was accompanied by the ubiquitous symbol of the cartoon. of a red-haired cat.

The printing technique of serigraphy (or screen printing) consists of a process in which 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 period, when artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein made it famous. Telegraphics offer 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 telegraphics and get a piece of an inspiring world with increasing artistic value to take home with you.

Mark Ther (*1977) graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (Painting Studio II/school of Vladimír Skrepl) and completed a scholarship at the Copper Union in New York. He works mainly with video art, gallery installations and drawing. His way of working is characterized by a director's approach, directing individual details and elements of meaning into a final whole. In this way, he creates plastic and (seemingly) authentic fictional worlds within which he explores themes related to the objects of his fascination. Whether it is the play with language, the fate of the Sudetenland and its inhabitants, queer and camp aesthetics or fashion. He has presented his work at international exhibitions and film festivals in Berlin, New York and Cologne, for example.
