Posterzine® Issue 111 – Ricardo Cavolo

Posterzine® is a groundbreaking publication that uniquely combines the worlds of print and art into one collectible format. As the world’s only poster registered with the British Library, Posterzine® is celebrated for its innovative folding design, which transforms from a beautifully designed A1 poster into an engaging magazine.

Launched nine years ago as a creative solution to an editorial space challenge in Print Isn’t Dead ™ , Magazine Posterzine® quickly captured the imagination of art lovers and design enthusiasts alike. Each monthly issue features a different artist or designer, presenting both a visually striking poster and an in-depth, exclusive interview with the creative behind the work.

Led by a passionate and dedicated team—Marcroy Eccleston Smith, the visionary director and curator; Tom, the creative designer; and Kate, the editor—Posterzine® has carved out a niche in the art world by offering affordable, frame-worthy prints that double as insightful reading material.

In this issue:

We dive into the vibrant world of Ricardo Cavolo, whose eclectic style merges folk art, tattoo culture, comics, and religious symbolism. With a career that spans collaborations with brands like Gucci and Zara, Cavolo’s art remains deeply personal, bold, and instinctual.

Through his fearless use of colour and storytelling, he continues to blur the lines between commercial and personal work, allowing his unique voice to shine in every project. In this interview, Ricardo opens up about the cultural influences behind his art, his creative process, and how he maintains artistic integrity while working with global giants.
