Julien Colombier Holy Jungle !
Hello! we’ve just released six color variants of Julien Colombier Holy Jungle editions!
StudioCromie turns 15 ! This show is a milestone in the tale of a small town kid that stumbled on punk rock and made extreme DIY ethics his everyday practice to keep doing whatever the fuck he wants and live as fast as he can while everybody else in town seems to be asleep
just a quick note to let you all know we’re opening an incredible exhibition in a new gallery space!
and we’ve just released a new book and a few editions by PIERO PERCOCO
It’s always a pleasure to team up with Julien Colombier, he’s a restless artist, a genuine heart and i love his vision and talent
this time we’re releasing a serie of small original pieces and a few bigger ones! check them here!
FAILE x StudioCromie from STUDIO CROMIE on Vimeo.
A ceramic collection with FAILE
it only took 10 years of email correspondence to convince Patrick Mcneil from the Brooklyn based artist duo Faile to trust an italian <3
he was here in the summer of 2018 and we worked hard in Franco Fasano ceramic factory to produce an entire collection of plates and vases
you find a pdf with more details and photos here
it’s been a real pleasure to fuck around puglia stealing advertising posters from billboards during the stupid pandemic.
we produced these two limited editions on plexiglass, billboard paper and wood with portugal prime minister Alexandre Farto aka Vhils
i loved the whole process and i hope you’ll like it too, learn more here
Jeffrey Cheung print release
Printed during the first lockdown of the shit virus pandemic of 2020, we’re happy to release “Cover”, a 13 colors handpulled screenprint from the Oakand based artist and restless skater Jeffrey Cheung
…now, to go a little more personal, as for many of us, its been a VERY hard wretched year for me, full of loss and unprecedented hard shit to go trough. what you see up here, in this print, is the results of self determination, will to live, passion and luck. Yes, i’m good at pumping myself up with the belief that i deserve every bit of good that comes my way as i know how hard i’ve been working to create it all, but there’s also a great deal of luck in my story: I’m lucky to be alive and healthy, to love what i do, and to be able to share it with you all. Walking to the studio everyday during the lockdown has been an extreme luxury, having artists from the other side of the world trusting me and allowing me to print their art remotely felt great and the process of fucking with these prints until they were completed is definitely what kept me sane and kicking through this shit year. i hope you’ll like them as much as i do and that you’ll find a slice of relief in them too knowing that a lot of love went into making them and that in an exaggerated fashion i can tell that they saved my life <3
ALL IN
hello! We’re trying to open this incredible group exhibition, if the pandemic restrictions allow us, it will happen on Friday the 18th of December, we’ll keep you posted!
JULIEN COLOMBIER – new prints up!
hello people!
just a quick note to tell you all we just released these prints, find them here! i will write a long post about these prints and the current situation at studiocromie once i finish the little promotional video i’m shooting right now. so yeah, talk soon!
BIG RELEASE DAY!
hey! we give zero fucks about christmas madness but out of coincidence, we’re here doing our first mayor december release in ages, if you feel like, eventually, buying something nice out of all that crap the world is forcefeeding you these days, you can do it here:
Marco Pariani made 5 drawings, i love what this guys does, i just can’t stand his audio messages, they’re too long, he contradicts himself a few times while he records them and he even expect you to get what he’s saying… i wanted to share with you the frustration of getting one of these messages with this video 🙂
on the other side of the world, my favorite artistic duo ever, Cyop & Kaf just opened a show in Napoli to celebrate their 25 years of being an artistic couple. i don’t have enough words to explain what i feel about these artists, and for once, i’ll let their artwork speak for them, we’ve just released 10 sculptures of clay, cement and found metal
last but not least, come see us at the second edition of the FuckUps festival at studiocromie! 20/22 december in grottaglie!
CHIASMO 2019
Last August we organized the first edition of CHIASMO with our friends from Path, a 4 days experimental electronic festival in Grottaglie. This is a video recap by Jacopo Farina, music by Vipra. We’re already working on next year edition, more news soon!
The Fuckups at colorificio Kroen, Verona
The Fuckups is StudioCromie’s side project, the place where we experiment with wild interesting artists from the real world and where money is not a relevant issue. The public is invited to watch, talk and interact with a group of artists that were selected a little farther away from their noses and instagram reachability. We might all learn something outside the internet
The second meeting took place in northern Italy, Verona. Once again, this video is not intended to explain what this all is about, it’s an homage for those who came and had fun with us! The family is growing, We are the Fuckups! support here www.thefuckups.org !
Julien Colombier release!
we’re here today to release our first collaborations with Julien Colombier! we met on the magical internet over three years ago and then we visited his studio in Paris, then we lost track of each other but we both kept in mind that it would have been nice to collaborate on something, Jesus Craist made it finally happen this year, in the hottest days of the summer, we made these three beautiful editions. It all happened in one night so that Julien could catch his flight back to paris. order them here!
PRESENCE OF THE ABSENT
Presence of the absent, 28 June 2019. Dunja Jankovic solo exhibition just opened at the gallery, photos here:
PAUL KREMER, HOPPER !
hello internet! we’re releasing this new print by Paul Kremer and i made a peaceful video for the release! hope you like it.
Lucy Mclauchlan / Dunja Jankovic new prints!
Lucy taped a roll of paper on the stadium wall to capture the texture of the surface underneath the paper while painting it. She later cut the painting into small portions to burn them into screens and print an edition of mono prints
all these prints are different from each other!
also, we’re really really happy to welcome a new artist on studiocromie.org, Dunja Jankovic made these three prints in her studio in barcelona
THE FUCKUPS LAUNCH!
hello everybody!
we’ve just launched a new website where we’ll be working with a lot of freedom and non instagram famous artists
you think you still have time to check interesting shit? check www.thefuckups.org !
Marco Pariani print release!
hello everybody!
long time no speak, it’s been a weird summer, productive, but in a different way.
i had to learn again, for the 100th time, that working with artists can be a bitch and it’s only getting worst year by year.
instagram and fame makes them much more stupid and less responsive to the real world, they end up thinking that what they do is relevant outside their studios and they basically loose their mind when they walk away from it and realize the world doesnt need any of their speculations. Dealing with their bullshit i keep asking myself : why am i doing it?
let me put it down nicely:
i do it for the money now, i need it to fix this new huge space i bought and turn it into a studio/gallery/house/guesthouse but i also do it because every 10 spoiled assholes i meet in this business, there’s a very nice person who makes my life better. Somehow, magically, this ratio is enough to keep me going and i dream that once i’ll be done fixing the new space i’ll be able to enjoy it with the 1/10 of great people i’m meeting and working with now. It will be the definitive Studio Cromie and it will all make sense when it will be up and running, bear with me my friends and it will all be fun again
So, speaking of this 1 nice person out of 10 nightmares, i’m here to introduce you all to the work of Marco Pariani, drumroll… a normal, nice, safe and functioning human being!
we made this print together, he painted 25 different backgrounds and we screened 12 colors on top of each of them. they’re all very different from each other so keep it in mind while ordering!
Maya Hayuk Fuck tiles!

REVOK, three colors kundalini from STUDIO CROMIE on Vimeo.
Hello Everybody! We’re releasing three new prints by REVOK !
We made one with the same style a few months ago and it sold out in seconds, it just felt stupid to us at studiocromie that we wished we had printed more of them. We did that later, in three new sexy colorways, packed them in a super heavy box and flew them to the states to try and convince king REVOK to sign them. It was a nightmare to carry that box all that way but luckily Jason liked them and here they are! hope you’ll like them too !
I said i was going to release these on the 15th, but tomorrow is my birthday and i’ll be hanging around with my friends so i thought i’d better put them up already. Also, my english is worst then usual here ’cause they’re waiting downstairs and i really have to go !
thank you all ! happy 2018 !

Paul Kremer @ StudioCromie from STUDIO CROMIE on Vimeo.
It was so refreshing to have Paul down at the studio for the past two weeks! We’ve been painting and printing like crazy and the man proved that an artist does not have to be obsessed with himself or his art and can also enjoy other beauties in this privileged lives we have, like meeting other people, exploring their places, having a good time, laughing, at the point that art becomes almost an excuse to make all of the above things happen! fuck yeah!

New Prints online!
I would have never believed it but we’re still here, it’s been 10 great years in wich i met so many great people i can’t even imagine how i could have been the person i am now without studiocromie. This year i even bought a new massive space that will soon become my new studio and already is the new gallery. Studiocromie is now clearly what i thought it would have become when i built the first printing table back in 2006: a lifetime project. This was and still is my custom made escape from imposed paths and possible lifes that were offered to me, it’s exactly the life i want and it’s thanks to a lot of people that this is still possible. Studiocromie still exist and it’s stronger then ever. thank you beautiful people. I promise i’ll keep working hard, starting today:
StudioCromie is releasing new prints by Zio Ziegler, CaneMorto, Lucy Mclauchlan, Word To Mother and JAZ !
hope you like them!
If you’re around this saturday, 17 december, come by the gallery, we’ll be having a 10 years anniversary group show and it’s going to be good!

“Solstizio D’inverno” 108 solo show
La necessità urgente di affermare che uno su tutti in italia ha fatto arte pubblica senza inseguire l’eco delle mode d’oltreoceano, e anzi, l’ha fatta piuttosto ispirandosi a certi altri movimenti diametralmente opposti, nel tempo e nello spazio.
Guido Bisagni, in arte 108, ha fatto cose in una piccola provincia italiana lontana dalle mappe culturali delle capitali. Quando neanche a londra o a parigi, dove con gli stessi medium si perdeva tempo con puppets e altre cazzate, avrebbero potuto spiegare bene di cosa si trattasse, 108 ha abbandonato tutti i giochi figurativi degli altri e ha dipinto forme inedite. Nella sua ricerca orientata alla sintesi perfetta ha addirittura tralasciato il colore, per un momento, mentre inconsapevolmente alzava la qualità dell’arte pubblica italiana ed europea tutta.
è di questo che vorremmo trasmettere una documentazione con “Solstizio d’Inverno”. una mostra organizzata e curata più in veste di fan che di collaboratori.
Presenteremo una nuova serie di lavori su tela, carta e ceramica, l’artista suonerà sotto il nome di LARVA108 e sarà proiettato in anteprima un breve video documentario su 108 girato fra Alessandria e Grottaglie.
Per noi sarà importante farlo proprio da qui, da un’altro piccolo centro lontano dalle attenzioni più superficiali.
a voi interessati, non mancate.
20 / 12 / 2014
via caravaggio
Grottaglie (TA)

There’s an urgent need to declare that one artist in Italy, over all, made public art without following the echo of overseas fashions, and on the contrary, movements far away in time and space inspired him.
Guido Bisagni a.k.a. “108”, worked in a small Italian province, far from culture capitals. While even in London or Paris everybody was wasting time with puppets and stickers, 108 abandoned all the figurative toys of others and started painting unedited shapes.
In his speculation and research for the perfect synthesis he even left behind color without realizing he was raising the bar of Italian and European public art on many levels.
This is what we’d like to say with “Winter Solstice”, which will be a show run and organized by fans rather than collaborators. We’ll be showcasing a new series of canvas paintings, with pieces on paper, prints and ceramic sculptures. The artist will perform under the name of “LARVA 108” (his noise side project) and, for the first time, we’ll screen a short documentary filmed between Alessandria and Grottaglie, about his work and life.
It is also important to us to make of this city another small center, far from superficial distractions.
Those of you interested, don’t miss it.
