LOCAL HEROES
2026
This print was created entirely in my own print studio and combines classic pop art influences with my personal surroundings and visual language.
The use of brands and iconic logos was consciously inspired by pop art. But instead of using American brands like Coca-Cola or Campbell’s, I wanted to focus on the visual world I personally grew up with. That is why local influences and Swiss brands appear throughout this work — as part of my own reality and culture.
The print was created in several layers:
First, the red elements and brand references were screen printed. Afterwards, I sprayed semi-transparent white areas over the artwork using stencils before finally printing the black outlines on top through silkscreen once again. Through this layered process, every print developed slight variations — similar, but never identical.
The numbering is therefore less about a traditional edition logic and more a way for me to identify and assign each print to its collector.
The series consists of 12 prints in the format 60 × 80 cm on 300gsm cardboard paper.
Every print is hand-signed and finished with an embossed seal.
No digital reproduction — only handmade prints with intentionally visible character and individuality.
