A note about the publisher… ADVANCED GRAPHICS LONDON The artists published by Advanced Graphics London are invited to work with the technicians at their studio. Each artist works in a different way and the relationship between printer and artist is crucial to the success of the project.
The artist builds a series of backgrounds and marks to be made into stencils - they vary from large washed areas to tiny highlights. The technicians print the stencils, one at a time, by pulling ink through the screens onto the paper beneath using a squeegee. If the artist is combining woodblocks with the screenprint the technicians cut the wood into the required shape and roll thick ink onto the surface, the paper is then laid on top of the block and enormous pressure is applied using the vertical press. There is no original painting – these prints are not reproductions - and the prints are produced entirely by hand. Once the proofing stage is complete, and the artist is satisfied with the image, the technicians begin again with the edition - refering to the notes made during the proofing stage. The prints are then signed and numbered by the artist and embossed with the Advanced Graphics stamp. The Advanced Graphics Studio was set up in 1967, specialising in producing original screenprinted editions for artists and publishers. In 1988/89 the medium of woodblocking was added with the arrival of an adapted veneer press. With this addition a new technique, using a combination of both types of printmaking, was created and gave artists (specifically those with a primary discipline of painting) the thickness, texture and weight of colour they were seeking to achieve with their prints. The more traditional form of 'hard edged' screenprinting is still popular and over the years Advanced Graphics have worked with a wide range of artists, all of whom have helped push forward the boundaries of printmaking. They have challenged the company and allowed their technicians to build an ever increasing knowledge of both media, screenprinting and woodblocking, during the collaboration process.
