Jonone (1963) - Time is now

JonOne – Time is now – 2026 Original silkscreen by JonOne, produced in 2 color passes with ink enriched with real silver powder, on 250 g Keaykolour paper. Format: 50 × 70 cm. Edition limited to only 60 copies, numbered and hand-signed by the artist. With Time is Now, JonOne offers a particularly intense graphic composition, built around a powerful contrast between a deep black background and the silver traces. His instinctive handwriting almost entirely invades the surface, blending swift gestures, overlays and drips into an overall impression that is both raw and perfectly controlled. The peculiarity of this edition lies in the use of an ink enriched with real silver powder. It brings luminosity and metallic reflections to the lines, which evolve with the lighting and give the work a particularly strong presence. Emerging from the New York graffiti scene, JonOne has developed a pictorial language that is immediately recognizable, in which the letter and signature gradually become abstraction. Time is Now fully illustrates this approach, with a dense and spontaneous composition that retains the energy of graffiti. With its especially limited print run of 60 copies, its 50 × 70 cm format, and the use of real silver powder, this silkscreen constitutes a very handsome edition of JonOne, as spectacular as it is representative of his artistic universe.
