Graphicstudio publishes small editions utilizing a wide range of printmaking techniques such as cyanotype, intaglio, lithography, photogravure, relief, screenprinting, and archival pigment prints. Sculpture multiples are produced using traditional casting and fabrication techniques and more recent techniques of laser and waterjet cutting. Materials range from aluminum, bronze, steel, wood, and rubber, to less traditional mediums including lava (basalt) and pigmented resins.
Graphicstudio has collaborated with over 100 artists from around the world and produced more than 1,000 limited edition print and sculpture multiples at the forefront of contemporary art, with many acquired by leading museums and corporate and private collections worldwide.
