Polish poster art influences-

 I've been drawn to 'RAW' styles of art for a while now at the same time being curious of the Polish art scene; especially from around 70's when this graphic voice has just peaked and Poland wasn't out of communism just yet.

 A lot of it is quite dark, with figurative elements but verging on surrealism? There is an aspect of detachment - maybe from my point of view being born after the communist period and into a different political and economical atmosphere.

Style wise and technique wise there's a lot to gain and from now on I'd like to focus on printed outcomes- really paying attention to the paper I use but also having a go at mark making- back to expressive brush strokes but also etching, screen printing and risograph. I think all of those will link in well with the letterpress workshop and with the whole project of experimental book making.
