This poster by Luis Alonso was designed for the 1993 San Juan Biennial of Latin American and Caribbean Printmaking, the ICP’s flagship event dedicated to the preservation and elevation of printmaking traditions. Since 1970, the Bienal has been one of the most prestigious print exhibitions in the Western Hemisphere, showcasing artists from more than 20 countries. Alonso, a frequent contributor, crafted posters that helped define the Bienal’s visual identity.
The design features bold, chalk-like textures and an abstract form suggesting printmaking tools or carved linocut shapes. The red and blue strokes invoke the tactile process of engraving and relief printing, while the black background emphasizes the raw physicality of printmaking sediments. This poster functions not only as a promotional piece but as a conceptual representation of the medium being celebrated.
