Risograph “Il Gabbiano”

To accompany the publication of Matita’s second book, “WOW”, curated and illustrated by the duo Venice in Pattern, Matita proposes 3 illustrations extracted from the book printed in risograph format 28x38cm in a limited edition.

The eye of the seagull is the starting point for this illustration, which depicts the fog in Venice in November, on the dome of a church.

What is Risograph all about?

Risograph is characterised by a very specific aesthetic based on the superimposition of colours. It lies somewhere between screen printing and offset printing. Each risograph print is unique and offers a handcrafted result.

Moreover, the risograph is an environmentally friendly device. RISO technology is based on a cold printing process that consumes very little energy and all inks used are entirely soy-based and solvent-free.

Our risographs are printed on Favini’s Crush paper, an environmentally friendly paper made from 100% recycled fibres and green energy, which reduces its environmental impact.
