TEENAGE KICKS

About the edition

This print was created by Hideyuki Katsumata and produced in DCA Print Studio as part of 2020 Editions: a portfolio of prints created to mark an extraordinary, challenging year, and to support DCA's recovery from a crisis that has gripped the entire cultural sector.

As the UK-wide lockdown that began in March 2020 drew to a close, we invited a group of artists who had participated in our programme to submit work to be developed with our team in DCA Print Studio and included in a portfolio. Some had worked with us recently; others had taken part in projects soon after we opened in 1999, but all of them gave their time and work generously in support of DCA, and we are incredibly grateful to them.

The project came with some built-in specifications – shape, size, edition number – but the remarkable diversity of the finished works eloquently reflects the range of our programme, and the possibilities of working with our Print Studio.

Teenage Kicks is a song of the ‘70s punk rock band The Undertones. HANAUTAH has teenage spirits and he is walking on the COVID-19 world with love and soul and a never give up attitude. My image is super positive and I chose the HIDEYUKI DCA RED colours from the mural of my solo show USO DE HONTOU (2015). Hideyuki Katsumata
