'Token of Esteem' by Alastair Keady 5 colour hand-pulled screen print, one gloss and faux gold gilding.500 x 700mm / on 290gsm Fabriano Tiepolo paper with deckled edges.Edition of 10, signed and numbered by the artist. About the ProjectThese sprang from my work on wood panels, where the forms butted up against the edges of the panels. I wanted to do a companion edition, but with the composition floating within a space. I also wanted to explore the combination of relatively loose gestural lines within a tight geometric composition, with subtle tonal shifts. The combination of teal/green and gold got me thinking of the visual language of currency, and the title arrived as a play on that. The gilded form is a mixture of faux gold leaf and bronzed powder gold pigment, and has a lot of textural interest on it’s own. Intended to be float mounted in a larger frame, but can equally be trimmed to mount in a 70 x 50 cm frame. About the ArtistAlastair is a graphic design graduate of NCAD and the Royal College of Art. He’s worked as a designer, and design educator, for far too long to dwell on. Interested in process and materiality in printmaking, he’s previously worked in letterpress, but returned to screen printing in 2017. Often found devising an image-making technique, and then discovering ways to undermine, abuse, and subvert it. Loves a happy accident. Disinterested in rigorous adherence to consistency in a world of perfect reproduction. Which is convenient.
