Underway Studio: Printed Spaces

This September Underway Studio present Printed Spaces, a fully screen printed show exploring the architecture of London’s cultural spaces. From galleries to music venues, many of these structures have been repurposed over the years becoming part of the fabric that makes up our city. In recent times some of these spaces have come under threat from property developers and new laws. Underway Studio aim to show the importance of these venues today in adding to London’s cultural diversity and rich history.

Underway Studio is an illustration and printmaking collective based in West London. Founded in 2015 by six graduates as a space to continue working and developing as young designers, the collective works collaboratively across silk-screen, lino and digital print mediums. The current members of Underway are: Aiden Barefoot, Anna Schmidt, Caitlin Parks, Hazel Bryer and Melissa North.

Architecture, form, texture and colour are the main influences behind Underway Studio’s work. The use of physical print processes means their visual language is both playful and distinctive, incorporating photography, collage, drawing and any happy accidents along the way.
