God Save Brutalism

Each print was pulled by hand using acrylics mixed in the studio. The purple was chosen to sit uneasily against the subject, and every print in the run carries its own small shifts and flaws.

Typography does most of the work here. The posters are set in my own typeface, God Save Grotesque, drawn from Jamie Reid's cut-and-paste lettering for the Sex Pistols. The letters sit at the edge of legibility, which is the point.

The paper is 270gsm Colorset Storm. It holds the ink roughly, and its weight and grey surface suit a series about concrete.
