"Hello Kitty" Print

Veca’s work is characterized by elaborate, hand-drawn linework and psychedelic patterns that transform familiar imagery into immersive, often surreal environments. His installations frequently envelop entire spaces, creating a sense of awe and disorientation. Drawing inspiration from sources as varied as 18th-century French toile patterns, comic books, and baroque design, Veca’s art explores the interplay between high and low culture. Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas. Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing surface. It is also known as silkscreen, seriography, and serigraph.
