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.

Malleus is an Italian visual collective formed in 1999 by three artists who first met within the heavy rock group Ufomammut: Urlo, Poia and Lu. Based between the hills of Piedmont and the industrial plains near Turin, the trio treat illustration, silkscreen printing and graphic design as a single three headed practice, producing hand pulled posters that glow with blackened art nouveau detail, surrealist dream logic and psychedelic colour shock.

Working entirely by hand, they begin each commission with loose ink sketches that blend expressionist line, symbolism and cinema stills. These drawings are translated into layered stencils, then printed in limited runs on heavy Italian paper, building translucent glazes until flames, serpents and cosmic skies hover around their central muse: the female form, revered as primordial goddess and source of all creation. The result is a visual spell that feels both antique and futuristic, a quality sought by bands such as Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Iggy Pop and Mogwai, who have invited Malleus to create tour posters and album art that merge music and image into one hypnotic object.

Beyond rock, the collective has designed for Dario Argento films, Volvo campaigns and fashion labels like Oakley, yet they remain rooted in the underground, printing each sheet in their own studio and selling directly to fans at festivals such as Roadburn and Hellfest. By fusing artisan discipline with occult imagination, Malleus proves that a silkscreen can still be a talisman, a poster can still be art, and three minds can speak with a single, unforgettable voice.

Malleus is an internationally renowned art collective based in Italy, best known for its psychedelic rock-inspired posters, screenprints, and artworks that merge music, mysticism, and striking visual design. Founded in the early 2000s, Malleus is comprised of artists Urlo, Poia, and Lu, who together bring backgrounds in illustration, music, and design to their collaborative practice. The collective’s name, meaning “hammer” in Latin, reflects both the force and impact of their creative vision.

Drawing inspiration from Art Nouveau, Surrealism, Pop Art, and underground psychedelia, Malleus produces work that feels simultaneously vintage and modern. Their posters often feature organic, flowing lines, intricate patterns, bold female figures, and an otherworldly atmosphere. These visual elements are tied closely to the music scene, as Malleus has designed limited-edition gig posters for some of the world’s most iconic bands, including The Black Keys, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, and Monster Magnet. Each piece is hand-printed in small runs, making their work highly collectible among fans of both music and art.

In addition to concert posters, Malleus creates fine art prints, album artwork, and large-scale illustrations. Their art embodies a unique fusion of countercultural sensibilities with fine craftsmanship, often using silkscreen techniques and experimental materials to achieve richly textured results. The collective also plays an active role in the international “rock poster” movement, regularly exhibiting at festivals, galleries, and cultural events worldwide.

Malleus stands out not only for its distinctive aesthetic but also for its collaborative ethos, blending music and visual art into a singular, immersive experience that resonates with fans across generations.
