Description

This print is a traditional Malaysian house in black on rusty orange, standing on its reflection, with a thin horizon in the distance, and is a part of the Minimalist collection, in which the focus is on the house. The elegance, architecture, and timelessness shine. It’s telling a unique story without distraction. The colours are revealing the emotion. The absence of detail and surroundings speaks. Here the house is vulnerable and bold at the same time.

What is a monotype print?

A monotype is a type of print whereby the printmaker starts with a clean plate the paper is pressed on after the image is created, and ends with a clean plate after the paper is pulled from it. It is, therefore, impossible to create the same image twice as opposed to monoprints. With a monoprint, the plate the paper is pressed on has the image permanently created in it using different techniques. Then it is possible to reproduce identical prints in smaller limited editions.

All the impressions I make are monotypes. The gel plate is clean so I will have to start anew to create the next impression. This ensures you always will have a unique print that nobody else has.
