More familiar in a commercial context – most notably Letraset® (who popularized the method for typefaces in the 1950’s), the process of ‘Decalcomania’ stretches back into the history of art as a technique to transfer work from one surface to another.
German artist Max Ernst was a ‘Decalcomaniac’ as were surrealists Oscar Dominguez and Hans Bellmer. Now a stable of international artists and designers is commencing a decalcomania renaissance.
Rub down on your transfer - your letters, images, logos - to almost any surfaces (paper, wood, metal, acrylic, ceramic, mirrors, glass, tiles, books, photos, walls, cabinets and furniture).
