Roy Scholten - Lego Letterpress Birds

This is from the Roy Scholten website:

Little Owl "A small brown owl looking
angrily to the right." -Scholten alt-text.

LEGO letterpress experiments at Gafisch Atelier Hilversum started in around 2014, with Martijn van der Blom.

The 50th anniversary of the printmaking studio in 2018 provided the occasion to start the 50 birds project.

Sometimes the specific shape of a design requires multiple overlapping parts to be printed in the same color. For example, the relatively monochrome Little Owl still required six seperate printings to create the overall posture and that stern stare.

Price per print ranges from €110-150.

His book, The Art of LEGO Letterpress, contains elected works from 10 years of LEGO Letterpress.

If I'm translating right, there is an exhibition from 19 Nov to 4 February 2023 at Grafisch Atelier Hilversum in Hilversum, Netherlands.
