About

DISCO is a single word made monumental — five chunky modernist letterforms set against a fluorescent orange field that practically vibrates off the wall. Working from a typography book source, the artist has blown the lettering up to B2 scale and hand-pulled seven layers of pigment to build a print with the saturation and conviction of a club poster pulled straight out of a 1973 archive. It's bold, it's loud, and it makes no apology for either.

The composition does something quietly clever. The D and I sit upright and architectural, while the S, C and O explode into discs of green, beige, mustard and teal — circular interruptions that turn letters into objects, and reading into looking. There's a graphic playfulness here that nods to mid-century European poster design and the analogue bravado of screenprint, but the fluorescent ink drags it firmly into now. Up close you can see how the paper holds the pigment: clean edges, no bleed, the colour sitting on top of the 400gsm Munken Smooth like fresh enamel.

This is a print you don't hang to fade into a room. It's the punctuation mark in a space — the work that sets the tone of a hallway, a kitchen, a creative studio. One of an edition of 40 across all colourways, hand-pulled, signed and embossed, with a Certificate of Authenticity. A piece of contemporary print culture that earns its place on the wall and only grows in conviction the longer you live with it.
