The rise of typographic art

Typography is the art of designing and arranging printed type. What once began as a craft in the 15th century with the invention of the printing press has gradually evolved into an art form in its own right as digital technologies have developed to offer artists endless creative possibilities.

The medium flourished as an art form with the industrial revolution and continues to evolve now in the age of the digital revolution. Now not only is typography cleverly manipulated to serve functional purposes such as effective advertising, but it is also utilised to create stunning pieces of art.

Artists specialising in typographic art on Rise Art

Start by having a look at the work of Rebecca Mason whose neon light text conveys the darker side of human existence and emotion. Mason effectively draws upon the connotations of neon light in order to make bold statements on life, love, money, and culture.

Also, not to be missed is the work of Ursula Hitz who crafts maps out of the names of the locations depicted. Her artworks can be seen as abstract textures, locations, or simply as a series of words, offering an innovative and creative take on the traditional map format.

Dangerous Minds Artists' pieces explore themes of light, beauty in decay and abandonment, while making use of antiquated typography. Their clever juxtaposition of vintage elements combined with modern neon lighting makes for striking pieces which are sure to add an impact to any setting.

The artist Andrew Crane creates cyphers of poems to be decoded by the viewer through a combination of paint and typography. Muted washes of cement-mixed varnish are embellished with shapes, letters and numbers in oil and acrylic. The artist’s modern conceptual works are imbued with a mystical or spiritual element – infusing the flat planes of colour with added meaning.
