Jairo and Nicola are experimental printmakers, who have collaborated together for over twenty years through mediums of silkscreen, collage and installation.
As interdisciplinary artists, many of their ideas originate as collages in order to free up their creative process which then transitions into a screen printed image and often back into collage again. A cycle of refraction between disciplines, transmuting and evolving along the way.
The three prints selected here, are from their ongoing project ‘The Dreaming of Butterflies’, begun in 2016, and later resumed in 2023. This was an opportunity to develop and explore translucency and multi-layering in order to achieve dreamlike shapes and playful forms.
Loosely based on the concept of imaginary companions from an adult perspective. Psychological and spectral creatures showing multiple identities, with a sense of semi visibility - of something winking in and out of sight. A re-emergence and a crystallization, where butterfly shapes conclude the journey.
Jairo specialised in Fine Art Printmaking at University of Hertfordshire and Nicola studied Ceramics at Roehampton Institute.
Notable exhibitions include; Museum of Childhood, Barbican Contemporary Print Show, the Bargehouse and Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair in 2022.
Their work is held at the V&A public collection.
