The colourful and often witty work of artist and printmaker Adam Bridgland takes inspiration from a range of familiar design styles, motifs and sentiments found in British vintage travel posters, postcards, advertising and colouring books. Key to his work is the interplay between text and image.
Bridgland's latest screenprint takes the text, 'Better it is to get wisdom than gold', that sat above the original entrance to the V&A, and places it over a multicoloured rainbow. It was commissioned as a limited-edition print by the V&A.
We joined Bridgland at Jealous Print Studio in London's Shoreditch to find out more about his inspiration, discover what it is that he loves about screenprint and watch as he produces the print for the V&A.
Adam Bridgland's limited edition print Better it is to get wisdom than gold is available to purchase in the V&A shop.
Publication Screenprints: A History is available to purchase in the V&A shop.
