Like No Other

Yesterday evening, I attended the private view and launch of  ‘Like No Other’ an exhibition by paper artist Owen Gildersleeve and Harvey Lloyd Screens showcasing an array of uplifting and one-of-a-kind artworks that celebrate hand-crafted individuality, the beauty in imperfection and the magic of collaboration.

This distinctive body of work will be on display at Phoenix Art Space in Brighton (UK) from March 22 – April 9 2023. The collaboration is a unique coming together of handcrafted techniques, and combines mono-screen prints – inks hand painted directly onto the screen creating endlessly unique results – with hand cut paper designs, created by Owen in his signature graphic style.
The designs celebrate light, colour, space and form, exploring themes of beauty in individuality, wonder in the everyday and finding perfection in imperfection. The spark of ‘Like No Other’ originated during the COVID lockdowns of 2020, where Owen suddenly found himself faced with the freedom to experiment with different approaches to his work. This included creating watercolour washes, exploring gradients and in turn, combining these with his hand-crafted paper artworks.
This opportunity of exploration led to Owen reaching out to Harvey Lloyd to collaborate on a one-off piece, who in turn took the idea and evolved it into something completely new, creating an array of wonderful test prints and experiments inspired by Owen’s initial concept. Through this creative ‘call and response’,
Harvey Lloyd helped grow this seed of an idea into an amazing array of printed possibilities. The exhibition tells a story of human connection and collaboration, stepping out of one’s comfort zone with the exchange of techniques and ideas, and the freedom that comes with embracing unexpected results.
Owen’s papercut elements are created using the very same paper stock as the monoprints, which is our Matrisse 250gsm 

The show will be a take over of the gallery’s Project Space room, featuring over 50 completely one-of-a-kind original pieces of artwork, guiding viewers through the collaboration and its themes, from the small details to large scale immersive interpretations.

Draw a line

This is a recent collection of prints produced by Harvey Lloyd Screenprint for British graphic artist and illustrator, Adrian Johnson. His work is known for his economical, highly crafted graphic work an his working process all derives from obsessively drawing and re-drawing on paper, breaking down ideas and concepts into their purest form.
Size of the prints is 400x360mm, portrait. They are six-colour screen prints and are printed on our Matrisse 200gsm. Matrisse is a tactile uncoated white board with a high bulk and is perfect for silkscreen work.
You can see and read more about the project here:  http://www.adrianjohnson.co.uk/#/draw-a-line/
Adrian Johnson relentlessly aspires to seek balance between simplicity and sophistication, he is reductionist at heart. In October he gave a talk and workshop at the Apple Store on Regent Street, London about distilling ideas and images through reduction. In his words... "I'll be working with iPad Pro and Apple Pencil to help illustrate how my working process involves taking on board a plethora of information, and how I reduce this information into 'simple yet sophisticated' illustration and graphic art". 
Adrian Johnson's work has been exhibited in London, New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo. He lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The prints are produced in an edition of 25 copies. and have been beautifully printed by Harvey Lloyd Screenprint, who are based in Wadhurst, East Sussex.

Archive

Archive Homestore and Kitchen is a design-led lifestyle store offering a unique and fresh collection of interesting and beautiful homewares, stationery, bits and pieces for children, food and drink. The outlet is located in a former military arch space in Ramsgate’s Royal Harbour. Archive particularly showcases and champions Kent’s designers, makers, growers and producers and they also do amazing lunches and lots of cake.
BOB  Design named this Kentish treasure trove and created its visual identity — an arch housing all forms of form and all forms of fun ...and this is where the paper comes in! the swing tags, price tickets, cards and menu sheets are all printed on our Plexus 350gsm, which is a rich, recycled, brown coloured board.

 They have all been silkscreen printed by Harvey Lloyd Screenprint, who have made a beautiful job of printing the many different vibrant and mainly fluorescent, colours.
Transformation of the space is by Haptic, a firm of Architects who have appeared on this blog many times before. Bob Design applied the identity throughout the interior and across print and web and you can see more on this link: http://bobdesign.co.uk/work/archive-homestore-kitchen/

Design is by BOB Design in London. Creative Director is Mireille Burkhardt. Print is by Harvey Lloyd Screenprint.
