Cathy's Art Diary

Nice exhibition at Somerset House organised by the Print Club London   who asked artists to respond to their favourite film in the Film4 Summer Screen programme and produce a poster for it. These were fun bright images but I must admit I didn’t know a lot of the films so found posters for those a bit difficult to interpret. My favourite image was a quote from Jaws “You’re gonna need a bigger boat” by RYCA with the words arranged like a shark’s mouth. There was a clever one for In Bruges by Rozalina Burkova in just three colours and I liked Steve Wilson’s for All the President’s Men with the stripes of the stars and stripes morphing into film feeding onto a reel. Closed on 23 August 2017  

Small exhibition at Somerset House by members of the Print Club London. To coincide with the Film4 Summer Season at Somerset House, 16 illustrators were asked to design a post of one of the films on show. My favourite was Steve Wilson’s poster for “The Untouchables” because the design filled the whole poster incorporating a pin stripped suit, a gun and an Italian Renaissance colonnade. However I also had a sift soot for “Badlands” by Rose Stallard but probably because of the loose Bruce Springsteen link.
