Last month the Innova team was in London for the 8th edition of Moniker International Art Fair.
Moniker Art Fair 2017 was buzzing with activity from a full programme of talks and events and Innova’s inkjet fine art media took centre stage for multiple exhibits.
In the installation hall, US mixed media artist Ian Kuali’i created a large scale installation from hand cut Innova art paper. Visitors to the fair could walk through and around the exhibit -becoming a part of the art. Surrounding this impressive sight was some of Ian’s stunning original artwork: mixed media collages overlaid with paper cut outs, as well as a whole series of repurposed spray cans, each with their own paper cut out applied.
On the Innova Art stand, the walls were adorned with reproductions of unique collaborative pieces created by a Los Angeles based trio: photographer Jim McHugh and urban artists Big Sleeps and Prime. Utilising McHugh’s polaroid photographs of Los Angeles, printed on Innova FibaPrint® Ultra Smooth Gloss 385gsm (IFA 49), Prime and Big Sleeps use their own distinctive lettering styles to work over the top and create urban artworks inspired by the new noir scene in L.A.
The Innova team also took part in their own collaboration as part of the show. Teaming up with Moniker Art Fair and London based artist Mr. Frivolous to release a special print edition. Commissioned specifically for the fair this year the artwork, drawn by Mr. Frivolous, celebrated the east London art scene. The print edition was printed on Innova Fabriano Printmaking Rag 310gsm, part of the Innova Editions range and given away for free to fair attendees. At selected times of each day, Mr. Frivolous took up residence on the Innova Art stand and customised prints for visitors – creating a unique and personal piece of art for each recipient.
