Mel Bochner – Thank You, 2021 – Silkscreen
Silkscreen with color shifting inks
Mel Bochner's Thank You (2021) is a silkscreen print that showcases his signature use of text as art. The print is covered with an array of gratitude expressions, such as THANK YOU!, THANKS A LOT!, and THANKS A MILLION!, rendered in bold, blocky lettering. The surface appears distressed, with some areas revealing textured underlayers, giving the piece a weathered and tactile feel. Bochner employs color-shifting inks, which change hues depending on the viewer's angle and light, creating a dynamic visual experience. The repetitive and emphatic text plays with the concept of sincerity and overuse, inviting viewers to reflect on the meaning and authenticity of expressions of gratitude in contemporary society.

What is Lettrism?
Artwork by Laure Prouvost

What is Lettrism?

Lettrism is an art form that uses letters, words, and symbols to create artwork. The movement was established in Paris in the 1940s and later gained popularity in the 1950s in America. Lettrisme is the French spelling of the movement's name, derived from the French word for letter.
