Their coiling forms bring motion and myth to the precise geometry of the color chart.

Part print lab, part time machine, part treasure hunt, Press Play mixes original works, adapted prints, and a deep curatorial dive through dusty archives in search of forgotten gems and visual oddities from art history’s fringes. Some are entirely our own invention; others are collaborations across centuries.
Art that’s smart, strange, a little subversive—and tastefully irreverent.
