Melvin Galapon


The main reason I like Galapon's work is because, for most of the pieces, you have to really visually interact with it to see what it says; the middle row pieces, when they were quite large on my screen I couldn't tell what they said...I had to walk away and kind of squint a little and on his site he has a photo of the prints from different angles and just by offsetting the type, it gives it a 3D quality.

Similarly, the last pieces are posters of lyrics, using a 'music' typeface that he created. As the very last image shows, out of context and close up it isn't very easy to read but when you see the posters from a distance it is quite readable.

Interesting!
