Painting in the Mail

Once a month, a fine art print leaves our atelier and enters the postal system. Roofless Postcards is a correspondence project in which a reproduction of a painting by Julio Panisello Huguet is printed as a postcard and mailed to subscribers around the world: a small work of art to hold and keep.

The Postcard

A limited fine art print edition produced in postcard format.

• 4 × 6 inch postcard.
• Archival giclée print.
• Printed on museum grade Hahnemühle paper.
• Each monthly edition is limited to 24 postcards, signed and hand numbered by the artist.
• The reverse includes a handwritten note and small hand additions by the artist.

Each card travels through the mail without an envelope, reducing materials while honoring the tradition of mail art, where the postcard has long served as a direct surface for artistic exchange.

Art in Circulation

We want art to circulate beyond gallery walls and digital screens while remaining accessible and worth keeping and collecting. Through these small monthly editions, the work moves outward from our atelier into desks, bookshelves, and personal archives near and far.

Inspiration

We draw inspiration from mail artists who circulated work through the postal system beyond galleries, markets, and institutional gatekeeping. In the 1960s, Ray Johnson built a correspondence network, turning the mail into a decentralized exhibition space. David Wojnarowicz later used letters and mailed images as forms of intimate artistic and political exchange. At the heart of these practices is a simple belief: art can move directly between people rather than through traditional systems of display and ownership.
