London artist Mark Titchner is releasing 100 limited edition prints of his bold ‘IT’S THE HOPE THAT KEEPS US HERE’ in collaboration with BUILDHOLLYWOOD, which initially featured on billboards across the UK as part of their Your Space Or Mine project, with all proceeds going to EveryYouth.

The signed 50x70cm fine art prints of Titchner’s eye catching design, 50 in blue and 50 in red, have been published by southeast London fine arts studio, Atelier JI, and will be sold via its online store and shipped worldwide.

Each print, numbered and signed by Titchner, will be on sale for £150 including VAT from 1pm GMT Thursday March 6, with pre-sale beginning 1pm GMT on Wednesday March 5. Sign up for early access at https://www.atelier-ji.com/newsletter.

All profits will be donated to EveryYouth as part of our Put Youth Homelessness To Bed campaign.

CEO Nick Connolly said: “Mark’s artwork aligns with our hopeful and positive vision that every young person, regardless of their lived experiences, when given the right support, can thrive in adulthood.

“With more than 118,000 young people facing homelessness in the UK right now, we are ecstatic that Mark and Atelier JI have chosen to support us. We continue to urge the Government to develop a national strategy specifically for vulnerable young people experiencing homelessness that helps them thrive, not just survive.”

The limited edition prints are being released as Titchner’s nationwide project comes to a conclusion.

Titchner said: “There has been such a positive response to the street project so far. It would be brilliant if this print edition can now support some of the amazing and vital work that EveryYouth is doing with young people across the UK.”

The message ‘IT’S THE HOPE THAT KEEPS US HERE’ is typical of Titchner’s ambiguous approach to language in his artwork. The text, whilst initially overwhelmingly positive and inspiring in tone, also suggests that it is something beyond hope that will lead to real and practical change in the world.
