Print types and Artists who use them

Relief Printing


Intaglio


Planographic


Stencil



Andrew Warhola (Andy Warhol) is one of the artisits that uses stencil prints in his work, he is famous in art for such pieces as the alternating Marilyn Monroe images, and the tomato soup image.



In this Andy Warhol artwork he has taken the image of Mickey Mouse and repeated the image into four square making one larger square. The images themselves have had three colors added to them orange purple and blue and all of these are bright colours, which i think may help to attract the eyes of a passer by.

Banksy is a famous graffiti artist that has created plenty of memorable images for people to see such as a teddy bear throwing a molotov at some police officers or a maid sweeping things under the carpet.


This picture is of one of banksy's works that is over seas, the setting for this graffiti was on a wall that seperated to countries from each other. The image is there to show people that what is on the other side could be better than they think. This kind of political statement is regularly seen in banksy's art, and some find this work offensivewhilst others marvel at its messages.
