Katedrala Negdjeu Travi (literally translates to "A Cathedral Somewhere in the Grass"), the 1980s Yugoslavian 6-piece silkscreen poster promoting a Croatian art exhibition which was held at the Galerija Matija in Sibenik, Croatia. Note that this poster features wild Boris Bucan artwork. Boris was born in Zagreb, Croatia in 1947. After completing his art studies, he was inspired to begin combining new-to-the-era visual technology (including Polaroids, film, photography, graphic design, and photocopies) creatively with traditional visual art. This effort would go on to build the New Art Practice Movement with other Croatian artists. Their conceptual practices gravitated toward public space, breaking away from the gallery system. Highly colorful and taking full advantage of the urban environment, Bucan's artworks were bold additions to the Zagreb cityscape, drawing comparison to Pop Art, while remaining independent in style and scope. He also maintained a prolific career as a graphic designer, producing posters for galleries, theatre, the Croatian Radio and Television, and National Theatre. In 1984 Bucan represented Yugoslavia at the Venice Biennale with a series of theater posters, and his graphic work has widely been exhibited all over the world, and recently it was showcased in the 2015-2016 exhibition "The World Goes Pop" at the Tate Modern in London, England

Artist: Boris Bucan

Important Added Info: Note that this poster (similar in size to a U.S. six-sheet movie poster) was printed with silkscreen printing on six separate pieces that join together to form a single image. Because of how the silkscreen process is done (see below), this is more of a limited edition print than a "poster"! Fine art galleries usually ask thousands of dollars for posters like these, and it will display wonderfully on the new owner's wall!

Note that silkscreen (also known as screen printing) is a printing technique whereby a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a poster. Only one color is printed at a time, so several screens must be used to produce a multicolored design, and it is a laborious technique because it is traditionally all done by hand. Because of the rich thickness of the layer of color on the paper and the resulting depth and brilliance achieved through silkscreen printing, this technique was preferred by many artists throughout many cultures and periods. Note also that this museum/art exhibition poster was printed in 6 sections designed to overlap.
