Artist Profile

Francesco Francavilla

Limited Edition Movie Posters & Art Prints

Francesco Francavilla has established himself as one of the most sought-after contemporary poster artists working today, with his movie poster designs becoming instant collector favorites. While maintaining his own Francesco Francavilla Art imprint for direct sales, he has also collaborated with prestigious galleries including Mondo and CODA to produce some of the most coveted limited edition screen prints in the alternative movie poster scene.

Francavilla's visual approach draws heavily from vintage horror and sci-fi aesthetics, employing bold geometric compositions and a masterful use of limited color palettes that evoke classic movie poster design. His portfolio includes striking interpretations of genre classics like Friday the 13th, where his 24x36 Mondo release showcased his ability to distill iconic horror imagery into essential visual elements. His work extends beyond horror into science fiction territory with pieces like his District 9 poster, an 18x24 screen print that demonstrates his versatility across different film genres. The Mummy represents another standout piece, highlighting his particular affinity for Universal monster movies and classic horror cinema.

Collectors actively pursue Francavilla's work due to his relatively small edition sizes and the consistent quality of his screen printed releases. His Friday the 13th poster sold out quickly from its 345-copy run and now commands premium prices on the secondary market, with copies selling for $250 or more. The District 9 piece was even more exclusive at just 100 numbered copies, making it particularly desirable among serious poster collectors who appreciate both the artistic merit and scarcity of his releases.
