Contemporary artist Jayson Lilley works at the forefront of printmaking practices, incorporating painting and collage techniques into his process. His work is known for its urban and architectural focus reproducing iconic structures from the metropolis. His love of modernist, Art Deco and Brutalist architectural design is infectious, bleeding into his own work which is often stark and minimal, with strong impact stripped back palettes often concrete shades of grey complement bold compositional techniques. ‘Truman Brewery’ depicts the iconic Old Truman Brewery tower, its peak rising up against the sky. Lilley has used a monochrome palette, picking out the ‘TRUMAN’ lettering in white against the black structure, while covering the expanse of sky in flat, mustard yellow for a distinctly Pop Art aesthetic.
