When it comes to embodying the synergy of art and print, few collaborations illustrate this better than the one between London-based artist Dominic Beattie and the JGM Gallery, facilitated by the expert team at ExWhyZed, renowned for their unmatched artist catalogue printing services. This partnership resulted in a stunning exhibition catalogue for Beattie’s “Cascade” showcase, a publication exuding a unique aura of sophistication and cutting-edge appeal.
Dominic Beattie, an established artist based in London, has built his reputation on an impressive portfolio of intricate, abstract works that tap into the depths of colour and form. His creative expression revolves around process-oriented, intuitive compositions, wherein he fuses traditional and experimental approaches to generate intriguing geometrical abstractions.
The “Cascade” exhibition, hosted at the prestigious JGM Gallery, embodied Beattie’s exploration of rhythm and continuity within his structural, abstract work. Each piece displayed an exploration of how intricate forms interact, merge, and unravel, creating an intriguing visual narrative that captured and captivated the audience’s imagination.
ExWhyZed’s contribution to this venture can’t be understated. Known for their prowess in London art gallery book printing, they employed their secret sauce – a high-end HP Indigo digital press – to create a catalogue that both reflects the exhibition’s artistic brilliance and aligns with the JGM Gallery’s ‘house’ style for catalogues.
The print specification was meticulously crafted to match the high standards of both the artist and the gallery. The 253x203mm portrait book featured a 4-page cover printed onto 300gsm silk with a matt lamination finish, exuding an aura of premium quality. The 36-page text was printed onto 150gsm silk, a choice that allowed for vivid colour reproduction and sharp image detailing. The book was then trimmed, collated, and perfect bound to create a streamlined, cohesive finish.
The result was a publication that not only encapsulated Beattie’s “Cascade” exhibition, but also solidified ExWhyZed’s position as a top-tier provider of artist catalogue printing services. This was not a one-off feat; ExWhyZed’s portfolio boasts a range of similar projects that echo their unwavering commitment to quality and attention to detail.
Their expertise shone in the production of “Gerrish Fine Art: Brave New World,” a catalogue that beautifully conveyed the otherworldly themes of the exhibition. Similarly, the “Sabina Savage Collection Look books” showcase ExWhyZed’s ability to adapt to different artistic styles, in this case, fashion illustration, delivering a catalogue that not only showcases the collection but is a piece of art in itself.
ExWhyZed’s versatility is further displayed in the “Frank Bowling Catalogues: Hales Gallery,” wherein the company’s commitment to high-quality print and binding ensured the catalogue’s pages reflected the vibrancy and texture of Bowling’s masterpieces.
“Shelving the Body by Soapbox Press” provided an opportunity for ExWhyZed to showcase their sensitivity to subject matter, with a thoughtful design approach that complemented the book’s exploration of the human body.
In the “Tadesse Mesfin Fine Art Catalogues,” ExWhyZed once again demonstrated their ability to adapt to various art forms, creating a catalogue that honours the depth and beauty of Mesfin’s works.
Finally, the “Julian Page Fine Art” project showcases ExWhyZed’s expertise in managing large portfolios of diverse artwork, creating a cohesive catalogue that beautifully represents Page’s vast body of work.
These projects stand testament to ExWhyZed’s reputation as a leading provider in London art gallery book printing, combining their technical prowess with a deep understanding and appreciation of the arts.
