R.L. Wingate

R.L. Wingate is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

R.L. Wingate made screenprints in the 1970s and ’80s, often turning famous faces into bold, graphic lines. In 1980 they printed Joan Rhodes, a poster-sized portrait of the British wrestler and stuntwoman, using flat reds and blacks like a vintage circus poster. Wingate’s prints feel like time-stamped snapshots of pop culture, trading soft edges for sharp silhouettes. If you like the look, tap Joan Rhodes to see how the ink hits the paper.
