It's Only Art
Silkscreen print on paper
It’s Only Art is a CMYK layered screen print calling attention to the overthinking mind and the pressure that artists put on themselves to create. The phrase used was heard by Gala Jane and resonated instantly with her, both in a positive and negative way. She has changed the words slightly in the layers to add the doubt that comes with being an artist and living with anxiety. Taking inspiration from artists such as Christopher Wool and Ed Ruscha who use text in their work, Gala Jane aims to use the deliberate off-registered printing technique to emphasise the themes she has raised.
Year: 2019
