Degradation System
Series of graphic posters for interior design spaces
The project is a series of six linocuts inspired by songs by System of a Down. Each piece translates the content and mood of the musical composition into a visual metaphor.
The visual language of the project is primarily built on the contrast of black and white (sometimes accented with color), expressive silhouette, and simplified form. This limited palette and unified graphic approach allow six distinct images to coalesce into a cohesive series.
The works are conceived as a modular composition designed for wall display. The unified format allows the posters to be arranged in a sequential line or a compact grouping, while preserving the visual autonomy of each image. When exhibited together, the series forms a cohesive graphic field where metaphors harmoniously complement one another.
The project explores printmaking as a means of visually organizing interior space. The series can be used as decorative artwork in a music studio, creative workshop, exhibition space, or any room styled appropriately (such as my own).
Format: Graphic print on thick A4 paper.
Technique: Linocut, paper printing.
The visual concept is based on contrasting silhouettes, large graphic masses, and the density of detail.
Color accents are used sparingly and adhere to the overall composition of the series.
Irregular printing, smudged areas, and traces of manual labor become part of the series' visual language. I believe these imperfections convey a sense of immediacy and resonate with the aesthetics of alternative music and the underground.
