Professor, Stamps School of Art and Design
About
Endi Poskovic is a visual artist known for his work in printmedia which invokes influences as diverse as early cinema, Japanese ukiyo-e prints, and European Propaganda posters. Traversing analog and digital realms in his creative practice of drawing, printmaking and animation, Poskovic explores the nature of composite narrative in which visual signifiers, both real and invented, intersect to form imagery suggestive of dichotomies, proposing themes of displacement, transformation and revival.
At Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design, Poskovic teaches ARTDES 348 Japanese Papermaking and Water Printing every fall semester, a course which focuses on a communal and collaborative nature of the Japanese papermaking workshop in which students learn both traditional and contemporary sheet formation using kozo and mitsumata fibers and applying nagashizuki method, as well as mokuhanga water printing.
Poskovic’s works have been exhibited worldwide in numerous important international biennials and triennials including Shanghai Print International Biennial, China; Bienal Internacional de Grabado Caixanova, Spain; Taichung International Biennial, Taiwan; Print in the Post-Print Biennial at China Academy of Art, China; Krakow International Triennial, Poland; la Biennale Internationale d'Estampe Contemporaine de Trois-Rivières, Canada; Belgrade Printmaking Triennial Serbia; Egyptian International Triennial, Egypt; Deutsche Internationale Triennale-Frechen, Germany; Tallinn International Triennial, Estonia; Xylon International Triennale, France; Varna Biennale, Bulgaria; Warsaw Impact Biennale, Poland; Ljubljana International Biennale, Slovenia; and New Prints Series at the International Print Center New York.
