[Pre-order] RETROSPECT Art Book, numbered, limited-edition release
‘RETROSPECT’
'RETROSPECT' is a numbered, limited-edition art book that celebrates the exciting, stylised works of over 30+ very distinct artists, who were involved in our three-part group exhibition series in 2025.
Pre-orders are open for one week only. Since this is a one-time print, this is your last chance to get a copy!
Each show reflected on the impact of technology and the resilience of creativity through the artistic process or subject matter. Artists were invited to explore how the digital universe has shaped their own world growing up.
We truly believe that 'RETROSPECT' is something for people to bring home to appreciate their favourite artists and their works. It'll also allow readers to reflect on the desire to find meaning in a time when our dependency on technology continues to increase. It's the culmination of all 'RETROSPECT' shows in the form of a purposeful art book.
No artist fees were taken for being part of the shows or the publication.
What’s inside?
'RETROSPECT' looks and feels premium, but it's also very accessible. This perfect-bound, laminated art book (8" x 10") offers a thick, shiny, metallic soft cover with Pewter (matte silver) stamp foiling on the front, back and spine to capture a minimal, industrial aesthetic that aligns with the 'RETROSPECT' theme.
Note: An anti-fingerprint varnish has been applied over the cover to resist marks and help keep the surface clean. However, since the nature of the silver cardstock acts like a mirror, it's still prone to catching oils, so we recommend using a soft microfiber cloth for a quick wipe down if necessary.
With a total of 172 pages printed in uncoated matte, this includes:
Artworks from the exhibition
Additional artworks that were personally selected by the artists
Descriptions and photos from each show
Artist statements
Every page has been carefully and intentionally laid out by a paid professional graphic and editorial designer to highlight the quality, skill and individuality of each artist and their works. These works are mostly original, comprising of paintings, clay, soft sculptures, mixed media, jewellery, digital illustrations, 3D art renders, pixel art and more!
