Junghans’ vibrant screen prints celebrate humor and personality by skillfully using animal motifs as stand-ins for human characters.

Each protagonist is defined by thick black lines that highlight their facial expressions, body shapes, and surroundings, while bright, contrasting colors bring them to life, evoking a sense of familiarity and warmth. These animal figures, thoughtfully positioned, resemble characters you might find in a family photo album or school yearbook, each bursting with personality, as if captured in a playful, candid snapshot. The playful charm of these prints makes them engaging and light-hearted, with figures poised to share a joke, fostering a delightful rapport with the viewer, while warm tones and visually satisfying colors amplify the experience, drawing one into a comforting, amusing moment.

Junghans’ screen prints go beyond vibrant compositions; they offer a glimpse into the playful side of life, where animals take on human-like roles, each with a unique story to tell and a smile to share. These works leave the viewer with the warm feeling of having just met a new friend, full of empathy and joy.
