"Silkscreen is Very Difficult, Actually"—JW Buchanan
Insert Blanc Press is pleased to present Silkscreen Is Easy !!! by The Little Friends of Printmaking, a new exhibition at General Projects.
"The work of The Little Friends of Printmaking (illustration and silkscreen duo JW & Melissa Buchanan) culls every color, shape, and nuance of joy and happiness and arranges them perfectly on a sheet of paper. From the posters themselves to how the posters are presented to the audience—each color, font, and element is designed as a sign of welcome. Their brand of illustration is based in the immediacy of a smile, a dedication to the silly and absurd, light-hearted and high-spirited. As both the illustrators and printers of their work, the Buchanans understand paper and ink, the squeegee and screen, and how they all play together. Whether the screenprint has seven colors or just two, each one is there at the service of the overall final piece."—Chris Jalufka
