Pop Screen Printing with Samuel Tupou
Join Samuel Tupou for a workshop exploring pattern and printmaking. Sam is the artist behind the current Children’s Gallery exhibition Tropic Arcadia. Learn about Sam’s arts practice, which incorporates patterns inspired by his Tongan and Polynesian heritage, and create your own printed pattern to take home.
Samuel Tupou is a Brisbane-based artist specialising in screen-printing. He creates artworks that respond to his Tongan and Polynesian heritage, incorporating patterns derived from and inspired by tapa (bark cloth) design. Tupou sets these against the stylised images and wildly artificial colours of western pop culture. His recent works draw inspiration from mathematical geometry and 80s video game imagery, as well as Pacific Island tapa cloth design and fine mat weaving.
Drop in anytime between 11am-3pm.
