Jurors Carlos Hernandez, Shanna Strauss, and Chadwick Tolley selected work from over 700 entries to craft a vibrant and wide-ranging exhibition that explores the act of layering. While there are some traditional prints in the exhibition that use collaging to craft their imagery, the work has a lot of material exploration, including fabric, currency, thread, plant matter, stamps, lotto tickets, gum wrappers, and dictionary pages. These media are expertly collaged through methods such as printing, sewing, gluing, and screwing. Superimposed exemplifies how practices can converge and be enhanced by the art of collage.
About the artist
Francisco Ramirez
I graduated from Columbia College of Chicago with a Bachelors in Art with a Major in Art and Design and Minor in Art History. I have been screen printing for over a decade mostly creating event posters or “gigposters” as some would call it. I’ve designed and printed posters for Mudhoney, The Melvins, Die Kreuzen, Swans, Mastodon, Unsane, Guided by Voices, Redd Cross and plenty of others. Speaking of others, I have also designed and printed event posters for local bars and restaurants as well, including Honeypie Cafe, Palomino Bar, Burnhearts, Goodkind and others. Am I commercial print shop or a non commercial shop, the answer is Yes. I will work to create strong image for your event, business, tshirt, sticker, beer label or almost anything you are in need of.
