screen print Dec 2025
Dolly Demoratti is a contemporary artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans screen printing, painting, and photography. Working predominantly at large scale, she constructs layered images that play with illusion, materiality, and expectation.
Originally trained within the professional print world in London, including formative years at Pictures on Walls, she later established the Berlin-based studio Mother Drucker. Over fifteen years, this environment became both a site of production and technical mastery, grounding her work in a rigorous understanding of screen printing as both craft and language.
Now focused on her own artistic practice, her work examines the quiet dissonance between surface and subtext. Seemingly calm or familiar scenes carry embedded references to mental health, addiction, and gender identity, deliberately resisting direct narration. Ambiguity is central to the work, allowing meaning to emerge slowly and reflect the complexity of lived experience.
