Artist and designer Lydia Leith perhaps best captured the national mindset in November with her “non-event” poster series. As the name would suggest, the screen-printed posters advertise absolutely nothing – a fitting tribute for the last several weeks the UK has spent in lockdown.
In any normal year, Leith says she would have received a number of commissions for event posters. But as the year began to draw to a close, she says she realised she’d had no such work come in because of the widespread cancellations 2020 has brought. Not wanting to miss out because of a little thing like no events, she decided to design posters dedicated to “total non-occasions”.
The primary-coloured posters are modelled on traditional block type and printing methods. But the details listed on the prints are somewhat more irreverent, and even ominous, in places: “don’t hold your breath”, “tickets not selling fast”, “no month, no day, never”.
