  • Sonnenzimmer are made up of two artists based in the US. Their clients are mainly institution, a few publications, the music industry and non-profit organizations. However almost all of their prints are posters for events.
  • They work with 3 or more colors for their screen prints, creating various overlaying effects and flat designs. Though what I find interesting is how they are quite experimental and diverse, depending on their client. Some of their posters can be rather texture driven and uncontrolled, though others could be more delicate with minimal shapes, softer tones and line work.
