"I Was Happy for a Day” - The type works by artist Stefan Marx captivate with their urgency and tragicomicpoetry. In recent years, Stefan Marx has been experimenting at Björn Wiede's Berlin-basedsilkscreen print studio. He used the hand screen as a paint carrier, from which the colors were transferred directly onto the underlying canvas or paper. This process undermines the logic of the printing process and creates fascinatinguniques that are more comparable to paintings or drawings.
For our edition, Stefan Marx worked with intense color pigments and contrasts, such as pink and red, neon green and blue, and day-glo colors. The result is an attractive studio series that we are pleased to release to accompany the new publication Monotypes / Monotypien.
Over the past 20 years, contemporary artist, skateboarder and illustrator STEFAN MARX (*1979 Schwalmstadt, Germany) has lent his unique handwriting to a variety of media: paper, canvas, porcelain and textiles. He publishes artists’ books and zines, designs record covers for various labels, and shows his work in international exhibitions, at art book fairs and galleries. Marx lives and works in Berlin.
Produktinformation Deutsch
»I Was Happy for a Day« – Die Schriftbilder des Künstlers Stefan Marx bestechen durch ihre Eindringlichkeit und durch ihre tragikomische Poesie. In den letzten Jahren experimentierte Stefan Marx in der Berliner Handsiebdruckerei von Björn Wiede. Das Handsieb fungiert als Farbträger, aus dem heraus die Farben direkt auf die darunterliegende Leinwand oder das Papier übertragen werden. Dieser Prozess unterläuft die Logik des Druckverfahrens und lässt faszinierende Unikate entstehen, eher einem Gemälde oder einer Zeichnung vergleichbar.
Für unsere Edition hat Stefan Marx mit intensiven Farbpigmenten und Kontrasten gearbeitet – pink und rot, neongrün und blau, Day-Glow-Farben. So ist eine attraktive Studioreihe entstanden, die wir begleitend zur neuen Publikation Monotypien / Monotypes herausbringen dürfen.
STEFAN MARX (*1979 Schwalmstadt, Hessen) ist Zeichner, Skateboarder und Kulturphilosoph. Seine unverwechselbare Handschrift findet sich auf Papier, Leinwand, Porzellan und Textilien.
