Samuel Kollárik (autorská grafika)

Product detailed description

Telegraphic. You can have a unique piece of art with real artistic value in your home. The serigraph by Slovak artist Samuel Kollárik, named Status, is based on his long-term exploration of male identity and masculinity. The 72 x 51 cm serigraph was created exclusively for the Telegraph Gallery as part of the artist's residency, which took place in September and October 2025.

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.
