Impression Description

I created ‘Consumed’ because it seems we only want more, newer, and not to miss out. We consume more and more with less time in between. The present is catching up to the past too and the choices we make today change yesterday’s course. This piece is about us consuming and leaving traditions and traditional houses like these in the past. The purple at the bottom is consuming the colour of the house, slowly transforming it, slowly but surely erasing it too. The trees are without colour already. What will happen when all colour is gone? I think it stays in our memories, something to look back to, and ponder… The application is rough, but the hot pressed paper it is printed on is almost as smooth as silk.

Details:

Type of art:
Unique (1/1) original hand-pulled layered monotype print

Medium:
Acrylic paint on paper printed, pressed and hand-pulled from a gel plate.

Sizes:
– Paper size A4, 21 × 29.7 cm (8.3 × 11.7 in).
– Art size 20.3 × 25.4 cm (8 × 10 in).

Paper: 100% cotton, acid-free, hot pressed, 300gsm, sourced from the EU. Hot-pressed paper is smooth to give the print a fine feel.

Authenticity: All art comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Art is signed, titled and dated below the artwork with pencil.

Series: This print is a part of the Nostalgia series, in which time has stopped while the world has moved on. In my imagination the traditional houses feel vintage, lost, or are already in different worlds than ours. Should we let go of the past? Or not yet?

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 (or just only one of course).

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.
