Compact Prints 2026 Auction

Felix Oppen

Russian ‘Bride’ 1

2026, Wood block and letterpress on 300gsm archival paper, 12 x 12cm

---

 

An email address of mine gets lots of phishing emails including many ‘ads’ for ‘Russian brides’. For a while the senders put effort into the messages making them quite poetic - romantic even - but combined with very explicit images. This print is the beginning of a series exploring the inherent contradiction within text / image dichotomy of the emails.
