John Loker Double Crossover Exit, 1993

Created in 1993 with master printmaker Bob Saich of Advanced Graphics, Double Crossover Entry and Double Crossover Exit won the 1994 Nordstern Award for Best Print at the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition. These limited edition screenprints feature one of the artist's most frequently recurring motifs, a series of three-dimensional boxes in an X formation inspired by a trip to the Soviet Bloc in the late 1980s, shortly before the collapse of Communism. The boxes embody the streams of vehicles carrying white goods and electrical goods over the border between Austrian and Hungary to be illicitly traded. A series of monotypes was published alongside these editions from the same screens, each with a different variation of colours.
