Print Posse Fatherless' Alternative Facts

Earlier this week Hookedblog caught up with screen printing posse Fatherless in Hackney Wick’s Stour Space for a sneak peek of their upcoming London exhibition Alternative Facts opening Thursday 6th April 2017.

Who Are Fatherless
—

Started in 2010, Fatherless is a print collective from Rockford, Illinois who has gained international attention with their print, installation, and commission work using a lurid colour palette and bold graphic sense.

The members of Fatherless operate as a unit collaborating freely with each other’s ideas and imagery. This process does not reveal any individual artist or “father” but rather an amalgam of the whole.

Each piece is a one-off monoprint that will never be repeated. The collective power of the five individuals allows for a wide range of ambitious projects.

The Fatherless collective consist of artist Jarrod Hennis, Javier Jimenez, Greg Lang, Dave Menard and Londoner Ben Rider (Previously on Hookedblog).

"We make prints. Bold colourful silk-screen monoprints. As a group, we try to push back against the constant barrage of imagery and frenzied sales pitches that compete for our attention every day. Our process allows us to manipulate the manipulators through appropriation, satire, and the democratic art of print.

Our backgrounds in graphic art and commercial printing give us the tools we need to fight back against “our consumer driven, media-saturated, disposable culture” through a positive creative will. We are inspired by Sister Corita and Grandmaster Flash." — Fatherless
