As for the print vs. original conversation - yes, of course an original is always going to be the real thing and a print the shadow version BUT in this particular case, the artist strives to purposefully create a two-dimensional image that recalls the classic graphic illustration art of the mid-twentieth century, which, by design was intended to be seen and appreciated as a lithographed illustration in print advertising and poster art.
Therefore, in this instance, because the end product - the reproduction of 1950s graphic design is what informed the current work, it is therefore closer in spirit and intent than the original.
And you can quote me on that.
