What is it?
Magda Archer is an artist with an eye for moments of wry banality, from the sweetly melancholic to the needle-piercingly astute.
Archer’s paintings, screen prints and related merchandise are often paired with the typographic commentary of a high street seer; The Oracle of Argos, if you will. ‘Keep ya mouth shut, I want to stay in love with you’, pleads one cartoon puppy of another. ‘Bet your mother works at McDonalds’, in an exchange of playground insults. Or the human condition succinctly summarised in a single sentence… ‘Let’s Talk About Me’.
A selection of Magda Archer’s posters are also available to purchase from Chapter’s box office, priced from just £5.
