David Krut Projects Cape Town presents The Colourist Manifesto, a group exhibition of David Krut associated artists, working with colour in print.
Traditionally, printmaking has existed within a monochromatic realm. However, there are artists who have worked in the David Krut Workshop (DKW) that have pushed the boundaries of printmaking through the use of colour. It is through this showcase, accompanied by The Colourist Manifesto, that artists explore and celebrate the use of colour in various printmaking techniques and the artist’s and DKW’s unique collaborative approach to printmaking.
The Colourist Manifesto booklet includes the artist’s relationship with colour in printmaking, their use of techniques and influences relating to the use of colour in print. The exhibition and manifesto acts as a platform to inform the public about the possibilities of printmaking; which isn’t as black and white as it may seem.

“Deborah Bell’s Invocations to the Plate highlights the art of collaborative printmaking. What happens in the David Krut Workshop (DKW) when an artist is at work is wonderful to witness. Working alongside a talented artist like Bell opens up a myriad of pathways for a printer.
