About Darkness and Light Plakat

Tema in svetloba je plakat, ustvarjen za razstavo o japonski klasični književnosti. Plakat združuje lakirno umetnost in oljno slikarstvo, naravo in človeškost, klasičen in sodoben slog. Tipografija povezuje dela dveh umetnikov s klasičnimi besedili, ki jih hrani raziskovalni inštitut. Natisnjena pola meri 515 krat 728 milimetrov in je izdelana s tehniko UV ofsetnega tiska z rastlinskim črnilom na papirju, certificiranem po standardu Forest Stewardship Council. Oblikovanje prikazuje, kako klasična kultura in knjige oblikujejo umetniško izražanje danes.
