About the Artist

This is Asia. A graphic artist and designer in his own right, Mathieu Surrel (Instagram) has got his feet wet in these enchanting countries, and uses his drawing skills to depict their urban nooks and crannies. Mathieu Surrel - who is also co-founder of the excellent Bourrage Papier festival - takes great pleasure in delighting us with these cityscapes, so familiar yet so strange. And if we plunge with him into these slender streets with their immense buildings, it's because the Lyonnais has mastered his line and his shading. Gargantuan perspectives and meticulous attention to detail are the hallmarks of these black-and-white images, freezing for all eternity the scenery that we know is in perpetual motion. The former student of the Université de Nîmes invites us on a wide-eyed stroll, for a low carbon footprint. Just follow the guide.

Kiblind Atelier is an independent risograph print studio in Lyon, France, born from the illustration magazine Kiblind. Since 2017 it has printed bold, limited-colour posters with illustrators from around the world, using vegetable-based inks and certified paper. 

When you buy a Kiblind print, you’re supporting an independent studio and the artists behind each design.

Invented in Japan in the 1940s, risography is a stencil-based, layer-by-layer printing technology similar to screen printing, using direct tones, i.e. pure colors with a luminous, intense rendering.

The riso prints cold (low consumption), on uncoated paper (less processed), with vegetable oil-based inks and no solvents. Part of the machine is made from recycled materials, and all consumables are collected and recycled in partnership with the Conibi organization.

Kiblind's risographs are printed on MUNKEN Print White 150g uncoated paper, made from ECF pulp and FSC and PEFC certified.

  • MUNKEN Print White is a premium, naturally white paper that combines the most attractive properties of wood and wood free papers. It offers optimised hand, strength, surface and printability for risography printing. Its puffy appearance ensures perfect absorption and luminous rendering of RISO's solvent-free, vegetable-oil-based direct-tone inks.
  • The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) is an international non-profit organisation that promotes the responsible management of the world's forests. FSC certification indicates that the product comes from environmentally friendly, socially beneficial and economically viable sources.
