Risographomania

ABOUT

RISOGRAPHOMANIA is a print exhibition curated by Ashley Ronning of Helio Press and Johnathon McBurnie. Risographomania brings together ninety local, national and international artists to explore the unpredictable, bright and exciting printmaking process, risography. Invented in Japan in 1980 by the Riso Kagaku company as an affordable alternative to screen printing and offset printing, the risograph is a medium capable of incredible accuracy and coherence, or anarchic misregistration, depending on the whims of the artist. Since this time, the Riso print has become a popular medium in its own right, with its trademark bright colours and ‘happy accidents’ making it a fascinating addition to contemporary printmaking.
