Chic To Chic Hand Pulled Screenprint

Six screens. Six passes through the press. Each layer building on the last until something clicks into place.

Chic To Chic started with the word itself — that double meaning dancing between elegance and the band that defined an era. Not the obvious disco references, but the quieter sophistication underneath. The way Nile Rodgers' guitar cuts through without shouting. The way real style doesn't announce itself.

This is hand-pulled screenprinting at its most deliberate. Six separate colour passes on 300gsm Madrid litho paper. Each screen locked into perfect registration, each pull building the image layer by layer. The kind of work that takes twenty years to learn and a lifetime to master.

The square format suits the subject — contained, balanced, confident in its own space. 415 x 415mm gives you presence without domination. Large enough to command attention, intimate enough to reward close looking.

Thirty prints in the edition. Each one signed and embossed in the Kimpton studio where this all happens. No gallery markup. No middlemen. Just the work and the person who made it.

The paper matters here. Madrid litho takes ink like it was made for it — holds the detail, shows the texture of each screen pass. You'll see the slight variations that prove this was pulled by hand. The tiny imperfections that separate craft from manufacturing.

Ships wrapped in acid-free tissue, rolled in a sturdy tube. Frame with UV glass if you want it to outlast us both.

For collectors who understand that sophistication isn't about showing off. It's about knowing the difference.
