RISO Art
Risograph printing, a technique that originated in Japan in the 1980s, has become increasingly popular among artists in recent years. This unique printing method uses a stencil-based process that allows for multiple layers of ink to be printed on top of each other, resulting in a distinctive texture and color scheme.
Artists have been drawn to risograph printing for its unique aesthetic qualities and its affordable cost. Unlike traditional printing methods, risograph printers are relatively inexpensive, making them accessible to a wider range of artists. Additionally, the process of creating a risograph print is both tactile and experimental, allowing for a great deal of creative freedom and experimentation.
For many artists, risograph printing represents an exciting new frontier in the world of printmaking, offering a unique combination of affordability, accessibility, and creative freedom. As more and more artists discover the joys of this unique printing method, it seems likely that we will continue to see a wide range of stunning and innovative works produced using the risograph.
