Impression Description

Vintage in Sepia is giving the impression that I am looking at an old photo. In the early days of photography colours were not as good as they are now. The older traditional houses were built around the same time as photos of them could have been taken. Perhaps some families still have surviving photos of that time? Anyway, both the houses and photos are slowly fading from present day as in the end time will consume everything. What is left are memories of something that used to be. This impression has the rougher brayer strokes leaving lighter colours visible in between the dark. This textured effect complements the texture of the paper too. The image of the house is not the same deep black everywhere as it seems to fade too. Everyone has moved on, but the house stays. Perhaps they went and sat under the tree?

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, cold pressed, 300gsm, sourced from the EU. Cold-pressed paper is textured which gives the print a rougher and unique 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.

Daniel Arendzen is the artist and printmaker who makes original works of art using traditional printmaking techniques with a modern twist in which he first recreates traditional houses digitally before transforming them into physical pieces. His primary objective is to (re)connect people with home through traditional architecture from all around the world. His current series are the Malaysian traditional houses.
