Malleus is a renowned Italian collective, established in 2002, comprising three artists: Giacomo Spazio, Alessio Gasperini, and Francesco Casu. Operating out of Rome, the trio specialize in a unique graphic style that fuses the psychedelic visuals of the late 1960s with striking, often gothic, imagery. Their work is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail, a dark, surrealistic tone, and the frequent use of mythological or occult symbolism.

The collective primarily utilizes the labor-intensive technique of hand-pulled screen printing for their poster art, embracing the tactile quality and vibrant saturation that the method provides. This traditional approach gives their pieces a distinct, handcrafted feel, setting them apart in a digital age. Malleus has gained international recognition through their prolific work in the music industry, creating highly sought-after gig posters and album art for iconic bands and musicians such as Neurosis, the Melvins, Isis, The Cure, and Nick Cave.

Beyond the music scene, their artistic reach extends into illustration, printmaking, and other fine art mediums, where they continue to explore themes of nature, female figures, and the macabre. The artists' unique visual language has cultivated a dedicated global following, cementing their reputation as a significant force in contemporary art and graphic design. They operate their own print shop and art studio, maintaining full creative control over their output and continuing to push the boundaries of their craft with a consistent and captivating artistic voice.
