Risograph Print

Three different inks layer to make bold scenes.

A matte, grainy print language limited to a small set of fluorescent and process-adjacent spot inks. Layers are printed in separate passes so edges drift, translucent colours multiply where they overlap, a dark navy key holds the shadows, and every tone is built from coarse dot grain rather than smooth gradient. Highlights are reserved paper. Subjects become confident flat stencil shapes.

Risograph Print 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 stencil-cut silhouettes with simplified decorative forms and flattened perspective; contours come from colour edges rather than drawn lines.

From room to threshold

An interior and an architectural threshold test depth, light, and spatial rhythm at two different scales. Full, poster-like arrangements with bold colour fields, overprint shadows and deliberate registration drift along every boundary.

From making to object

A process image and a still life show whether the treatment stays tactile both in motion and at rest. Coarse mechanical halftone and stochastic grain in every tone, matte ink absorbed into paper fibre, roller streaks, mottling and micro-spatter.

From botany to ritual

Organic forms and a shared food ritual put color, softness, and visual appetite under pressure. Coral, fluorescent pink and cyan spot inks mix into plums and violets where they overlap; a navy key ink carries the shadows and the paper carries the light.

From palette to landscape

A close material study and an open landscape show how the same sensibility travels from detail to horizon. Risograph duplicator print in translucent soy-based spot inks on uncoated off-white paper
