Three-color screenprint on silver foiled paper
A tribute to the ice-cold, much-loved beverage with a daily ritual much like a smoke break.
Fridge Cig is based on an original tempera painting created for Martin’s solo show “SMOKE SHOW” at Happy Anyway gallery in Portland, Oregon. The show was full of beautifully simplified, graphic cigarettes, ashtrays, and matches, plus this wonderful homage to everyone's favorite diet cola.
Sarah Martin is a graphic designer and creative director in Portland Oregon.
Edition of 100, signed and numbered.
Paper size: 12" x 18"

A screenprint, also known as a serigraph or silkscreen, is a great way to start or build an art collection. Unlike a digital reproduction, a screenprint is the art. The manual process involves a screen to which a stencil is applied, and ink is pulled through it layer by layer.
Our screenprints are produced in limited editions here in Portland, and each one is authenticated with the artist’s signature and an edition number. Screenprints typically cost considerably less than original work, and many appreciate in value over time. Artists like Andy Warhol and Alexander Calder helped take this once purely commercial process and make it museum-worthy.
Limited edition work is special because it’s scarce by design. The artist decides in advance how many prints will exist, signs and numbers each one, and then the edition is closed. No more will ever be made. That scarcity gives each piece a sense of exclusivity and makes it more collectible, while still being more accessible than an original painting or drawing.
