Colorblock Screenprint

Cut paper. Five inks. No wasted shape.

A modernist cut-paper and small-run screenprint language where five flat colors do all the structural work. Off-register edges and paper grain keep the geometry physical, while strong silhouettes make it useful at any scale.

Colorblock Screenprint shown across eight consistent reference subjects

One visual language across portrait, fashion, interior, architecture, process, object, botany, and landscape.

The same style, under different pressure.

From expression to silhouette

Faces and full silhouettes reveal how the style handles identity, proportion, and clothing. Hard-edged silhouette planes meet without outlines; every shape must carry structural meaning.

From room to threshold

An interior and an architectural threshold test depth, light, and spatial rhythm at two different scales. Asymmetric blocks, generous margins, and one dominant silhouette make the image read from poster distance.

From making to object

A process image and a still life show whether the treatment stays tactile both in motion and at rest. Off-register halos and risograph grain reveal the mechanics of small-run printing.

From botany to ritual

Organic forms and a shared food ritual put color, softness, and visual appetite under pressure. Five inks replace shading. Contrast, overlap, and cream-paper slivers create depth without gradients.

From palette to landscape

A close material study and an open landscape show how the same sensibility travels from detail to horizon. Cut-paper geometry and five-color small-run screenprint

The elements of the look.
