Jonone (1963) - Time is now

Original screen print by JonOne, created in 2 color passes with ink enriched with real silver powder, on Keaykolour 250 g paper. Format 50 × 70 cm. Edition limited to only 60 copies, numbered and hand-signed by the artist. With Time is Now, JonOne offers a particularly intense graphic composition, built around a strong contrast between the deep black background and the silvery traces. His instinctive handwriting almost entirely invades the surface, mixing fast gestures, overlays and drips into an ensemble that is at once raw and perfectly controlled. The peculiarity of this edition lies in the use of an ink enriched with real silver powder. It brings luminosity and metallic reflections to the traces that evolve with the lighting and give the work a particularly strong presence. Originating from the New York graffiti scene, JonOne developed an immediately identifiable pictorial language, in which the letter forms and the signature gradually become abstraction. Time is Now fully illustrates this approach, with a dense and spontaneous composition that preserves the energy of graffiti. With its particularly limited edition of 60 copies, its 50 × 70 cm format, and the use of real silver powder, this screenprint constitutes a very beautiful edition of JonOne, as spectacular as it is representative of his artistic universe.
