Risographomania
Perc Tucker Regional Gallery, Australia
Exhibition dates: 19 February - 10 April 2022
So fantastic to be included in this incredible exhibition at the Perc Tucker Regional Gallery. Risographomania brings together ninety local, national and international artists to explore the unpredictable, bright and exciting printmaking process, risography. Invented in Japan in 1980 by the Riso Kagaku company as an affordable alternative to screen printing and offset printing, the risograph is a medium capable of incredible accuracy and coherence, or anarchic misregistration, depending on the whims of the artist. Since this time, the Riso print has become a popular medium in its own right, with its trademark bright colours and ‘happy accidents’ making it a fascinating addition to contemporary printmaking. Artists include:
Freak Street, Safdar AHMED, Rachel ANG, Suzannah BABICCI, Stuart BAILEY, Edith Rewa BARRETT, Josh BAYER, Neil BINNIE, Ghostpatrol, Lauren Jaye CARTER, Laura CASTELL, Regi CHERINI, Carolyn CRAIG, Adam CUSACK, Stacy GOUGOULIS, Miles HALL, Michael HAWKINS, Sandi HOOK, Ruby HOPPEN, Andrea HUELIN, Steph HUGHES, Jo LANKESTER, Ginette LAPALME, Anne LORD, Paul MUMME, Wendy MURRAY, Thom NGUYEN, Jill O'SULLIVAN, Janet PARKER SMITH, Nic PLOWMAN, Ashley RONNING, Josh RUFFORD, Pip RYAN, Anneke SILVER, Christopher SPERANDIO, and Jamie WDZIEKONSKI.
