Portraits of Cultural Ancestors
In 2011, Joost Swarte made seven drawings for Gallery Champaka in Brussels, in which he displayed a number of his favourite book and film characters in combination with a means of transport. Of these seven drawings, a portfolio was also made on a small size and with a limited color scheme, called ‘Trafic’.
Griffioen Grafiek has now made prints of the original large and colourful designs. And like in the series “The Style” again in two versions: limited giclées in size 60 x 60 cm. and posters in size 50 x 70 cm. For the posters, Joost Swarte also designed a new font for the titles of the prints.

2017 March
In 2017 it is exactly 100 years since the launch of the Dutch art and design magazine ‘De Stijl’ (The Style), which was the start of the well-known art movement also known as The Style. Painters Theo van Doesburg, Piet Mondriaan and Bart van der Lek, and the architects Gerrit Rietveld, J.J.P.Oud were the best known artists of this movement and De Stijl’s iconic red, yellow and blue palette is still in vogue.
The Gemeentemuseum in The Hague is celebrating this event with exhibitions and also the publication of a book in their series of picture books for children about art and Joost Swarte was chosen to do the book about De Stijl. He drew 10 images of how he thought the studios of De Stijl’s artists would have looked like. In the coming year, we have the intention of making beautiful giclée prints of the 10 drawings Joost Swarte made for this book (see below) and we will also publish posters of the same drawings (see above).
