Le Théâtre Graphique - Book Launch



This evening I went to the book launch of a new book published by Hato Press at the Whitechapel Gallery. The book is titled Le Théâtre Graphique and is by artist and designer Sarah Boris.

It was a beautiful evening and the Whitechapel gallery is a great place for a launch - an absolute jewel in East London's cultural landscape.

It was a busy evening and the books were flying off the shelves. Taking the form of a large flipbook, Le Théâtre Graphique is an exercise in form and colour, where the theatricality of a rising curtain is reimagined through the performative cycles of nature; night and day, sun and moon, the shifting tide...

Hato Press are a Riso printers and also a publisher. the book is printed Riso and the cover is hot foil blocked. It was a lovely evening and thanks Sarah Boris and Hato Press for inviting me.
