Impression Description

The sun is fading, the skies turn muted red, and the land around the traditional house starts crumbling. Vintage Sun is about an old sun, about ceasing to exist. The house still is in the middle but for how long? This print is made with only one colour in different intensities to create the depth, the darker cloud and a more dominant edge. It is made with swift strokes from the brayer and by having a few more strokes at the same place, the paint is partly taken away again. These marks are visible. Looking back to something isn’t always only joyful, there is also sadness. Sad.. The house appears to have some form of double exposure, reading between the lines we see still some light. Will the future be positive?

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.
