Jealous Needs You Continues...

We have taken the chance in between Christmas and New Year to prepare for the Jealous Needs You exhibition early in 2015. We have had over 30 artists who have all submitted works of 2-3 colour images which we have created beautiful screen printed editions of. We have been delighted, overwhelmed and thankful for the response to this project and we can't wait to show the full range of works in our Shoreditch gallery in February and Crouch End in March.

New Edition for Dave White Complete

Our lovely printer William recently completed an edition for Dave White.  The 37 colour edition with varnish and diamond dust overlays was one of the most challenging prints we have completed in the studio.  We were delighted with the result though and look forward to working with him again in the new year. Here are some pictures taken of edition and process in action.

Two Exciting Projects Leaving The Studio

This week we have had the pleasure to work on two exciting projects for major events launching in London in the coming week.  The first was a screen print for Hattie Stewart and Saatchi & Saatchi, for their exhibition There's A Good Girl that runs at the Assembly Rooms until the 19th December.  The edition of 50 was a two colour screen print on Real Silver 250 gsm paper.  There is also an interesting article about the show in the Independent Newspaper here.

The second series of works were for the launch of the third issue of Riposte Magazine.  Taking place at the Old White Cube Space on Hoxton Square, the digital prints on display were created in the studio using our Epsom Printers.  You can order a copy of the new publication here.

Caroline Bergvall for The Rhodes Project

In early 2013 we completed a very exciting project for artist Caroline Bergvall, the current Writer in Residence at the Whitechapel Art Gallery, London.  In 2012 she was commissioned by the Rhodes Project in London to develop an art work celebrating the 1140 female Rhodes scholars. We helped realise the large 150 x 100 cm final work, screen printing and gold leafing on to Somerset Tub Sized paper. Swiss based graphic designer Pablo Lavalley helped conceptualise the idea for the design. This art work was presented in the course of the 110th celebration of the first Rhodes Scholarships in September 2013 at Rhodes House, Oxford.  Here are some pictures of the work taking shape.  Please take a look Caroline's website for further information about this project and other commissions she is currently completing.

New Works Printed for Why Not Associates

Last week we had the pleasure to work on a new series of prints by Andy Altmann and Why Not Associates.  Screen printing on to eleven old B-Movie posters, the works were finished with large metallic and black rub down decals in the Why Not Studio.  Here are the prints and some images from a productive day.

Jealous at the Houses of Parliament

 

We have always said we were a source of power! Well today Jealous are off to the Houses of Parliament. We are working in collaboration with Anthony Burrill on a project for the Craft Council called Talent Is Everywhere. Here are some shots of the work in progress over the weekend.  We hope to have more of the live printing taking place in the coming days.

Centenary 'Poppies' Charity Print

This week we have printed 111 Poppy centenary prints that will be available from 10 different galleries who will be selling 11 each for £111. The extra one will be going to Royal Hospital Chelsea to make up the full edition. With artwork supplied by Russell Marshall, paper donated by John Purcell paper and a bit of charity printing we are delighted to have been involved in such a project and hope that it raises lots of money for a great cause. Prints will be available on the Jealous Gallery website shortly. All artist commission going to the British Legion and Help For Heroes, along with donations from the galleries themselves.

Bran Symondson; Printing Money

We have been working with artist/photographer Bran Symondson during the build up to Apart Gallery's upcoming Winter Show. We have printed Star Wars themed dollar bills which have been enhanced and aged by the artist before applying them to life size storm trooper helmets. A digital inkjet print edition of 27 will be available at the exhibition and any purchases will come with a specially printed dollar bill. Check out Bran's blog post on the exhibition here.

Moniker/Jealous Editions 2014

Last week we were at Moniker Art Fair with a new series of live prints from artists carefully selected from gallery stands across the fair. It is always a delight to watch the prints come together in front of the watching public with the artists available to sign and personalise prints. Thanks to the five artists involved; Rowan Newton, Inkie, Beau Stanton, Vinz Feel Free and J Patrick Boyle and to Moniker Projects for this continued partnership.

New Rowan Newton Edition

Next week sees the launch of a new 10 colour screen print by Jealous favourite Rowan Newton. Both editions, one on greayboard and one on plywood, can be purchased from Thursday at the Moniker Art Fair, Truman Bewery. All prints are signed and numbered with the wooden edition finished with a wax seal by the artist. Above is sneak peak of the image which is yet to be seen by the public as well as some process shots showing the true grain acetate method and wax sealing in action.

Dan Kitchener- Jealous Mural Project

Last week we had Dan Kitchener at Jealous Towers. He became the latest artist to paint our rooftop wall in part of an ongoing mural project which is open to submissions. We love Dan's style which shows technical brilliance in can control. Please email nick@jealousprints.com if you would like to get involved in the project; we arrange for high quality photographs to be taken of the finished pieces for artists portfolios.

New Jealous Space Is Open In Shoreditch

Thanks to everyone who came to the launch of our new space in Shoreditch last night.  We had a fantastic evening and look forward to seeing you all very soon.

James Reka New Edition for Stolen Space Exhibition

Over the past week we have had artist James Reka in the studio working on his new edition which has now been launched at Stolen Space Gallery alongside his originals. The four colour screen prints have each been hand embellished by the artist and are available to buy via the Stolen Space website here.

The Jealous Print Studio Expansion

Over the weekend big changes took place at the Jealous Print Studio in Shoreditch as we continued our expansion.  The work is ongoing and we look forward to showing you the new finished studios and gallery space in the coming weeks.  Watch out, is that a flying screen bed?!

Shok1 Print Edition

Artist Shok-1 has recently commissioned Jealous Print Studio to produce a new print for him. The edition of 150 is a digital inkjet archival print on Hahnemuhle 308gsm photo rag paper and is representative of a mural created in New York. The huge level of detail in the image shows the technical prowess of the artist with the fluorescent colours translating very successfully to paper.

Read more about the print here.

David Wightman Edition

It was great to collaborate with artist David Wightman on his new edition, shown above, which was launched by our Jealous Gallery this week. The four colour screen print on plywood is entitled 'C, 2014' and is an edition of 100. Each print becomes unique with the wood grain showing through the transparent inks and is available at a special launch price for a limited period. David's website can be found here and the prints are available to buy through Jealous here.

JNY Continues

This week our Jealous Needs You project has continued and we have two more prints to present. These images by Elena  and Ornamental Conifer were submitted and make for beautiful editions. Check out Elena's website here and a short interview with Nicolai Sclater, aka Ornamental Conifer here.
