Whether you are purchasing your first artwork or adding to an established collection, silkscreen prints provide an accessible and rewarding way to collect original art.
What Is A Silkscreen Print?
A silkscreen print, also known as a screenprint, is created by carefully pushing ink through a prepared mesh screen onto paper. Each colour is applied separately, requiring precision, craftsmanship and a deep understanding of the medium.
Unlike digital reproductions or posters, original silkscreen prints are handmade artworks. Each print is produced as part of a limited edition and is individually signed and numbered by the artist, ensuring authenticity and collectability.
The process allows artists to achieve remarkable depth of colour, crisp detail and a distinctive visual presence that has made silkscreen printing one of the most respected forms of contemporary printmaking.
Why Collect Silkscreen Prints?C
Collectors are drawn to silkscreen prints for many reasons:
- Original artworks created directly by the artist
- Signed and numbered limited editions
- Exceptional colour saturation and detail
- Greater affordability than many unique paintings
- Strong decorative appeal for contemporary interiors
- An opportunity to collect established artists at accessible price points
Silkscreen prints offer the perfect balance between craftsmanship, originality and value, making them an ideal choice for both new and experienced collectors.
Kitty Dörje Silkscreen Prints
Among the highlights of our collection are the limited edition silkscreen prints of South African artist Kitty Dörje. Known for her distinctive interpretation of the landscapes, architecture and coastal scenes of the Western Cape, Dörje's work captures the character and atmosphere of places that hold a special place in the hearts of many South Africans.
Her sought-after silkscreen editions feature recognisable landmarks and scenes from around Cape Town and its surrounds, including Table Mountain, Kalk Bay Harbour, Lady Anne Barnard's Bath, Green Point Lighthouse and Kirstenbosch. Working with a refined palette and an elegant graphic sensibility, Dörje creates prints that are both contemporary and timeless. Their modest scale and collectability make them particularly appealing to buyers seeking meaningful, affordable artworks with a strong sense of place.
StateoftheART holds one of the largest selections of Kitty Dörje silkscreen prints currently available, with new editions added regularly.
