A limited Edition poster by James Ashe made on the occasion of Irish Modernisms group exhibition at CCA Derry~Londonderry.
James Ashe’s work frequently responds to architecture and the built environment. James fuses design, illustration and typography in this series of newly commissioned print editions of Modernist buildings spanning Northern Ireland.
St. Theresa’s Church, A triple-height modernist Roman Catholic Church, built in 1962 to designs by Patrick Haughey and was highly commended in the RIAI awards of 1961-62. It’s main external feature is the vast depiction of the Last Supper by the Irish artist Oisin Kelly. The building was a departure from traditional church architecture.

Edition of 50.
This print comes with a certificate of authenticity.
The prints feature landmark Modernist buildings from James’ home in the new-town of Craigavon as well as Banbridge, Sion Mills, and in Derry~Londonderry. The buildings hint at the reach of Modernism in terms of building use: offices, a shoe factory, church and service station. The colour palette is inspired from James’ research into Modernist design history including Sainsbury’s own label branding from 1962–77 designed by Peter Dixon and posters from the Modernist magazine.
