Artist Biography
Pressink is a letterpress and creative workspace based in the cultural center Nova Cvernovka in Bratislava, Slovakia. The Studio was established in 2016 by graphic designer Kristina Uhrakova and its first functional space dedicated to letterpress in Slovakia. Studio works with limited collection of metal and wood type and two German proof presses FAG Standard AP 510 and Korrex Hannover. As well as using traditional printing techniques, the studio uses new technologies like laser cut and polymer to produce bespoke limited artworks.
Description of Process
Is this just a symptom of modern life? This piece uses booth to capture and evoke a feeling many of us know so well. FOMO the feeling or perception of missing out on something. Perhaps everyday unconscious experiences that connect us via social media. Aside from creating contemporary typographic artwork it is also important for me to address its social context in the current state.
This artwork was handprinted on FAG Standard proof press with the use of laser cut letterforms. Three colour run‚ limited edition artwork.
