Typewriter Art

Typewriter Art??? Recent photos??? What kind of Art is this?

Read this article for the answers to the above questions.

The collage is collection of Church, Temple and Mosque done by me in a typewriter.

Earlier this kind of Art flourished in 1950s when typewriters were used extensively. Nowadays typewriters are not used and have become antiques. This kind of art is known as Typewriter crucifix painting.

Many artists have done this and have come up with wonderful artworks.

For any kind of pictures or paintings a particular medium is used. Examples are colour pencils, crayons, oil pastels, water colours, acrylic paint etc. etc.

For Typewriter Art, typewriter is the medium. The picture below is done by me using a typewriter.

This I have done in a typewriter by typing letters for the letters and symbols for the border lines.

I have done around 45 pictures using typewriter. I have displayed my works in galleries and exhibitions. Press Here to look at my creations and exhibitions.

The above picture is done using bichrome ribbon, means a double colour ribbon.

It takes so much of time and effort to complete one painting. Below this picture is halfway during typing.

This kind of art takes some days and months to complete. Also it needs to be extremely cautious. Unlike computers, in a typewriter once typed is typed. It cannot be deleted. Typing should be done without errors. Otherwise the whole painting will go waste.

My interest in art and passion for typewriters gave me the perseverance to create these paintings.

Once done with a successful painting, I feel a sense of accomplishment and happy.

Hi @Gurukrishnapriya ,

First of all, you are a gifted artist and have lot of patience to complete these pictures.

I have seen typewriters during my childhood days, but not so often. To be frank, I was not knowing that with the typewriters we can do artworks too. It’s a new piece of information for me.

As you said, in a typewriter, it’s impossible to delete if you did any mistakes. So, it requires so much patience.

Thank you for sharing the information.

What a wonderful craft.!!

Surprised to see such a beautiful pieces of art you have made. Specially those with multiple colours. How do you make that.?

Again, creating different shades of black might not be easier task and :heart_eyes: I loved it. Selection of characters, placement, cleanliness of drawing… Everything is fabulous. Keep it up @Gurukrishnapriya :+1:
