Why It Matters

Showprints occupy a special niche—produced around a specific exhibition or event, they document a moment in an artist's exhibiting history. The copper colourway distinguishes this version within the Black Angels imagery, and the two-colour serigraph technique reflects Kai & Sunny's disciplined approach to layered, restrained palettes.

Collector Perspective

Collectors value showprints for their tie to a particular event and their typically limited runs. At 100 signed and numbered copies in the copper variant, this is a defined edition; confirming the colourway, signature, number and the Somerset Satin stock are the main checkpoints. The copper reading gives it a distinct look versus other variants.

Historical Context

In 2014 Kai & Sunny were active in exhibition contexts that produced dedicated showprints. Black Angels reflects the darker, winged motifs the duo occasionally explored, and issuing it as a copper-toned serigraph shows their attention to colourway as a defining element of an edition's identity.
