Joe Cruz x Jack Davison
The last couple of weeks here at Print Club have been pretty exciting and we can’t wait to share our endeavours with you!
With new artists, projects, exhibitions and collaborations on the horizons! This one promises not to disappoint.
Print Club London are happy to announce that over the next coming months we are going to be working with Joe to produce artworks, soon to be available through the Print Club Gallery.
‘Joe Cruz had us at hello’ (It’s Nice That) and we agree!
After a healthy obsession with Joe’s work, we thought it was about time we invited him to the studio to discuss the possibility of him working on a collection of limited edition screen prints and becoming a Print Club artist.
He seemed pretty happy with that!
“The immediacy of illustration is what is so appealing, I use a wide variety of materials in my work, my favourite tools are my pastels, paints and collage material. Although I would describe myself as a fine artists and fashion designer as well.”
Now he can add ‘Screen Printer’ to the mix…
The freelance artist, illustrator and textile designer makes sweetly surreal and romantic poster styled art. His eye and skill for remixing found objects with glorious flashes of colour is more than eye-catching and has been screaming out at us for some time – we MUST get him in the studio!
Joe’s images, usually sourced from magazines, blogs and trawling the internet for bold and beautiful portraits are used as the basis for his work. These images are then hand finished with bright, bold and often fluoro inks and chalks to create the graphic, surrealist works that we are so fond of.
After we got chatting and carried away (it was hard not too) Joe mentioned the work of ‘Jack Davison’ and how recently, Jack had sent over a file of his own work with the subject ‘Have some fun with these.’
So here we are! Welcome, Jack Davison.
Jack is a London based portrait and documentary photographer, who despite studying English Literature spent most of his time ‘mucking around with his cameras.’ And how happy we are that he did.
We’ve done a little digging and found some wonderful interviews with Jack!
His work spans across both London and the States and reflects a powerful maturity not seen in many contemporary photographers at this time and of his age.
Watch this space, as we’ll keep you updated on the boys progress and don’t worry, as soon as their work hits our bed’s you’ll be the first to know about it!!
