| Lucky Disasters - Art without Intent |
|
| The Overprint’s contemporary approach to composition and design recycles a multiplicity of root images leading to distinctly original works of art, which is a direct reaction to its mass production origins. Lucky Disasters documents printing test patterns, or Overprints, produced when setting up design jobs. The inception of the test print was a budget decision as opposed to an artistic expression. Working out ink inconsistencies by re-printing a previously printed test sheet saves paper costs. The relevance of an Overprint is in its resourcefulness.Layering source imagery by happenstance (image availability and sequence based on design job succession) presents a design problem that is solved with painstaking patience and unimaginable surprises. For in this endeavor an eye for pre-existing compositional integrity separates artistic genius from just another piece of trash.As a principal in the contemporary print industry Scott Peek has become a beacon for avant-garde screen printers and serigraph artisans. Designed in conjunction with David Carson, this endeavor, chronicles artists and printers from across the United States. |
