Kate ALGER
Porsche 356 | Silver-Taupe | Screen Print
The silver of the car is a really shiny silver – just like bare aluminium, it changes colour in different lights and when seen from different angles.
This piece is a 7-layer handpulled screen print and is very different to digital prints. Each print is made entirely by hand meaning each one will be slightly different to the others in this very small edition. The various parts used to make up this image were multiple drawings done by hand with fineliner pens and a bamboo dip pen, paintings created with ink and brushes and paper stencils cut by hand. The painted and drawn elements were then transferred onto screens to create intricate stencils and the paper stencils were physically applied to the underneath of a screen.
Each layer of ink was then mixed and physically printed by hand. It's very labour-intensive but it's also a labour of love!
Overall size (cm): 49.0 x 38.0

Kate ALGER
Kate Alger is an accomplished British printmaker whose limited edition screen prints and etchings celebrate the elegance, craftsmanship and enduring appeal of classic motor cars. Working entirely by hand, she combines meticulous original drawings with traditional printmaking techniques to produce artworks that reflect both technical precision and artistic restraint. Every stage of the creative process is completed using time-honoured methods, resulting in prints that possess an authenticity and character impossible to replicate through digital production.
Drawing inspiration from years spent in France, together with a lifelong appreciation for fine craftsmanship, Kate's work balances beautifully detailed line drawings with bold areas of negative space. This distinctive approach allows each subject to stand proudly on its own, celebrating the sculptural form and timeless design of some of the world's most iconic motor cars. Her automotive screen prints are as much about proportion, light and surface as they are about the vehicles themselves, making them equally suited to contemporary interiors and dedicated motoring collections.
The collection includes beautifully executed interpretations of legendary classics including the Porsche 912, Ferrari 250 SWB, Lamborghini Miura and Aston Martin DB5. Produced in exceptionally small editions, many of the prints feature multiple hand-pulled layers of ink, carefully cut stencils and subtle finishing techniques that create depth, texture and richness of colour. As each print is created individually by hand, every example possesses slight natural variations, further enhancing its appeal to collectors seeking genuine handcrafted automotive art.
Kate Alger's work is held in private collections and represented by leading galleries. Her commitment to traditional craftsmanship, combined with her minimalist visual style, has earned recognition well beyond the automotive art world. Whether you are searching for a striking screen print for your home, office or garage, or building a collection of handcrafted automotive prints, these limited editions represent a distinctive fusion of classic motoring and contemporary British printmaking.
