Our Notes
'Interesting Company - Black' is a new colourway of The Misfortune Teller's previously sold-out edition. The artist is well known for combining his witty wordplay with bold and often hand-drawn typography – and this artwork is no exception. A beautifully printed conversation-starter that celebrates the joy and chaos of lives well-lived, this artwork is the ultimate statement piece.
The Misfortune Teller’s eponymous ‘misfortune’ artworks originated from his first art fair, where he would read visitor’s ‘misfortunes’ at his stall. The artist says of this performance art: “I had no idea if it would work but after an hour or so, I’d written a dozen prophecies and had a queue that turned into a crowd that got so big it had to be managed by the security staff.” From here, The Misfortune Teller built up his reputation, and now the artist tells the misfortunes of people all over the world through his artworks.
We love how the artist’s work toes the line between cynicism and absurdity, presenting morbid yet humorous statements that resonate with everyone.

We love how The Misfortune Teller discovered his love of typography art at his first art fair, and he now spreads his 'misfortunes' over the world. His eccentric, albeit slightly pessimistic, artworks are full of acerbic wit. The Misfortune Teller says of his talent for telling the future: "The wonderful thing about being clairvoyant is that you already know what your deathbed realisations will be...I’m not complaining though - I’d rather have fun flailing around in the moment than none at all, playing the long game."
