KELLY BELTER
ILLUSTRATOR +
PRINTMAKER
KELLY BELTER is a multidisciplinary artist and printmaker. In addition to commercial illustration, she runs the studio Polite Company Press, and creates dynamic prints and publications.
SILKSCREEN WORK
Working primarily with transparent inks, my silkscreen work focuses on the relationship between people and their environment.
Forthcoming projects are concerned with themes of belonging through place-fulness and awareness. These prints will be finished as work-intensive silkscreen book forms, such as the flag book and tunnel book.
All prints are made in my Seoul studio.
COMMERCIAL WORK
My commercial work spans editorial, packaging, and advertising sectors. Past clients include Stripe, Youtube, and The Believer.
POLITE COMPANY PRESS
Publishing work by myself and other artists based in Korea, Polite Company is a risography and photography press based in Seoul.
We focus on projects that work with local artists and most of our publications are available with both English and Korean contents. Additionally, we create stationery projects that reduce waste by recycling off cuts and leftover paper into useful goods.
