Screenprint title Expresso Expression

Expresso Expression

C. 1980
Screenprint
80 x 76 cms

Expresso Expression was made as a companion piece to Cool Clones. It is the obverse to the blithely integrated office workers in their uniform of bland expressions, white shirts and neat haircuts; instead these guys sport lived in faces and black tee shirts. The title of the print with its reference to coffee (in Cool Clones it is a vending machine) and the dark clothes are an oblique homage to the forebears of the counter culture - the beatniks.
