First there was Manchester then came Cardiff and now,due to an unprecedented demand, MAGDA ARCHER comes to Jealous Gallery in Curtain Rd, Shoreditch. with a new mix of both editioned prints and original paintings, some available to buy for the very first time!
Join us for the private view party on Thursday 12th May at Jealous East, all welcome.
Artist and print maker, Magda creates kitsch and colourful works inspired by her exploration and revisualisation of vintage and popular paraphernalia in western culture. Through Jealous, who frequently produce her limited edition prints in their Print Studio, Magda is back in the creative heart of East London with an assault on the peepers via saccharine-soaked, candy-coloured scenarios, statements & speech-bubble philosophy which draws upon vintage packaging, retro graphics and a lemon sharp sweetness that belies the bitter truth underneath.
‘Some of my [work] titles might appear flippant but if anyone wants to know, they never are. Life can be a strain at times but many things that are tough or a struggle, well, you can get some sort of a laugh out of them. I've been informed that my print Sick of this Shit is going down nicely with cancer patients for example, it's the one print my own best friend - fighting cancer herself - asked me for, and she never asked for freebies. She said it helped.’
- Magda Archer in her interview with HOME, Manchester’ -
