AAVV, V.I.P. Various Italian Printmakers, 2021

V.I.P. is not just a book or simply an editorial project, it is and has been a sort of bet, a commitment, a recognition towards those who, every day more or less quietly, pursue an ideal, a dream, a work that is art, ‘living matter’ something that is still done ‘by getting their hands dirty’. This text is therefore a form of redemption, a showcase on the world of Italian silk-screen printing that puts the spotlight on: artists, printers and art printing workshops that use silk-screen printing as their means of expression. The intent is to make known, not so much the technical development of this art, but rather the soul, creativity, names and places that make it so, focusing on its practical aspect. Leafing through these pages, the reader will be able to get closer to a reality that is as fascinating as it is hidden; made up of research, experimentation, self-production and craftsmanship; he will be able to range from green realities or those with a social background to the most sought-after Rock Poster Art or fine art printing.
