In 2019, Stefan Marx began his series of monotypes. In collaboration with Berlin-based screen printer Björn Wiede, he developed his own working method: Three individual images are created in three steps―one positive, one negative and the “ghost.” What initially fascinated him about this new approach was the bold application of paint and the intensity of the pigments. During the application of the paint, the surface of the picture itself is not touched— instead the image results from the manipulations on the silkscreen itself. Many of these Monotypes are typefaces― Marx’s signature wry sayings and quotations―but there are also figurative motifs, including animal drawings and other symbols from his pictorial inventory.
This book follows on from the volume Schriftbilder / Type Works from 2020. Again, Marx has developed this book as an artists’ book, creating a fascinating interleaving between the final works and the design sketches from his notebooks.
Over the past 20 years, STEFAN MARX (*1979 Schwalmstadt, Germany) has lent his unique handwriting to a variety of media: paper, canvas, porcelain and textiles. He publishes artists' books and zines, designs record covers for various labels, and shows his work in international exhibitions, at art book fairs and galleries. Marx lives and works in Berlin.

Edition Hatje Cantz
Stefan Marx »I Was Happy For a Day« from: »Studioreihe 2020/2025«
Die Schriftbilder des Künstlers Stefan Marx bestechen durch ihre Eindringlichkeit und durch ihre tragikomische Poesie. In den letzten Jahren experimentierte Stefan Marx in der Berliner Handsiebdruckerei von Björn Wiede. Das Handsieb fungiert als Farbträger, aus dem heraus die Farben direkt auf die darunterliegende Leinwand oder das Papier übertragen werden. Dieser Prozess unterläuft die Logik des Druckverfahrens und lässt faszinierende Unikate entstehen, eher einem Gemälde oder einer Zeichnung vergleichbar.
Für unsere Edition hat Stefan Marx mit intensiven Farbpigmenten und Kontrasten gearbeitet – pink und rot, neongrün und blau, Day-Glow-Farben. 10 Motive sind exklusiv bei uns erhältlich.
