Montana Colors / Tra/Montana Issue 1

Tra/Montana Book by Montana Colors, New unused dead stock book.

A source of admiration for some and controversy for others, graffiti art, since 1970, has communicated messages that inspire curiosity, reflection and provoke reactions. It is no coincidence that graffiti artists call themselves writers —writers of urban art that has left the streets and made its way into museums and bookstores.

Given the nature of its product, paper, Lecta has always been closely linked to art and culture. With our extensive range of premium papers for the publishing industry we share the same goal as graffiti artists: to convey emotions through the production of artistic work, extending its reach and lifespan.

Lecta’s participation in the sixth issue of Tramontana Magazine, the editorial project from Montana Colors, a leading company in spray paint for graffiti and fine arts, then, is only natural. In more than 160 pages, it shows the creative journey of 17 urban and contemporary artists including Niaho, Bier en Brood, Tiago Majuelos and Tamara Djurovic, to name a few. To represent the content, Lecta’s coated and uncoated papers, which support the expressive movement of each, were meticulously selected.

In the words of Antonio García Mora, editorial director of Tramontana: "Paper is the fundamental mainstay with which we can show our love and affection for the content that we seek to preserve and share with future generations.
