Profile
Ricardo Côrte is a British Portuguese printmaker, with a background in Textile Design and currently based in London.
His work is inspired by Pop Art, graphic design and late 20th century pop culture and uses collages and photographic imagery – often in bold and fluorescent colours – to create colourful silkscreen prints, which often explore themes around gender identity and expression.
Ricardo is particularly drawn to screen-printing as a printmaking technique because of its complexity and precision and the way images are created by hand-pulled layers of ink – adding, building, obscuring and finally revealing the final image.
Ricardo is currently a member of an open screen printing studio in South East London, where he has been practising and further developing his skills and knowledge as a screenprinter.
