Paul Insect LDN Paris Collection Silkscreen Print Set 2019
The 2019 LDN Paris Collection by British contemporary artist Paul Insect is a vibrant three-piece silkscreen print set that exemplifies his fusion of pop sensibility, street art aesthetics, and bold graphic experimentation. Each artwork in the series measures 9.38 x 6.75 inches and is hand-pulled on board, signed and numbered in a limited edition. Known for his striking use of color, layered composition, and subtle surrealist undertones, Insect presents a hypnotic arrangement of human eyes partially obscured by vivid, irregular color shapes, creating a sense of both intimacy and detachment. The recurring eye motif invites viewers into a direct visual exchange while the surrounding forms disrupt and fragment the gaze.
Dynamic Color Variations
The set offers three distinct color palettes—pink-based, orange-based, and blue-based backgrounds—each overlaid with sharp, contrasting shapes in electric greens, hot pinks, bright yellows, and saturated blues. The halftone dot rendering of the eyes adds a vintage print texture, juxtaposed with the flat, contemporary color blocks. This deliberate clash of printing styles enhances the sense of movement and tension within the work, while also demonstrating Insect’s mastery of silkscreen techniques. The hand-pulled nature of the prints ensures richness in color density and precision in layering, allowing each panel to stand as both an individual piece and part of a cohesive triptych.
Street Art Influence and Fine Art Execution
Paul Insect’s career has long bridged the raw energy of street culture and the refinement of gallery work. His compositions often carry the immediacy of wheat-pasted street posters, yet they are meticulously crafted with the control and permanence of fine art printmaking. In the LDN Paris Collection, the disembodied eyes hint at themes of anonymity, surveillance, and the unseen narratives of urban life. The layered fragments surrounding the gaze suggest both camouflage and exposure, mirroring the tension between public presence and private identity often found in street art contexts.
Paul Insect’s Artistic Vision
Born in the United Kingdom, Paul Insect gained international attention in the early 2000s for his distinctive approach that merges political undertones, surreal humor, and bold design. His work has appeared in both clandestine street settings and high-profile exhibitions, often blurring the boundary between subversive urban commentary and collectible fine art. The LDN Paris Collection encapsulates his ability to transform simple visual elements—here, the human eye—into layered, thought-provoking statements enhanced by fearless color use. As a limited edition silkscreen set, it not only reflects his technical precision but also captures the energy and visual impact that have made Paul Insect a significant figure in contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.
