The Little Friends of
Printmaking are a husband-and-wife team of
silkscreen artists living and working in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Emerging onto an
already crowded poster art scene in early 2003, The Little Friends quickly
established themselves as an indispensable new talent. They are best known for
the interplay of layers in their prints, and a playful looseness that leads the
viewer to consider the process by which the image was created. This notion is
central to their work-- as commercial screenprinting becomes practically
obsolete, the Little Friends do their part to demystify the process and
re-affirm the qualities that make screenprints desirable and unique among works
on paper.
The
Little Friends were recently profiled in the new book New
Masters of Poster Design (Rockport); their work can also
be seen in Beasts! (Fantagraphics), The Darkening
Garden (Payseur & Schmidt), and Two Faced: The Changing
Face of Portraiture (IdN). They are currently working with
Discovery World at Pier Wisconsin to develop a new Print &
Publishing lab. |
