"If it's beautiful, there's no need to do it well."
Bruno Albert-Gondrand is a self-taught artist, author, and illustrator from Grenoble, in the Alps, France, who now resides in Japan.
The screen prints are crafted manually without the use of a machine for printing or a computer for drawing or editing. The originals are hand-drawn and then inked onto thin sheets of paper, which are subsequently coated with oil to create the stencil. The screens are exposed outdoors using natural light. The original drawing is then destroyed.
For his screen prints, Bruno Albert-Gondrand draws inspiration from the Japanese artistic movement known as "Sosaku Hanga" from the early 1900s to the 1970s. The lines are thick, and the areas of black are very pronounced. The inspiration also draws from woodblock printing and modern European prints.
