Events
A project in development in which the artist through drawing, linocut, print and photography works the theme clouds.
In "The Clouds" the artist shows about 30 linoleum matrices, in different stages of work, from the scratching of the drawing to the partial or total excavation of the matrix ready to print. They portray stylized clouds whose format is extrapolated from photography and cinema. Besides the clouds, floral motifs and other landscape elements, such as hills, sometimes appear in the composition. Also shown is a set of blind proofs, white stamps embossed from matrices cut out from 250 to 300 gr cardboard and printed on 250 gr Fabriano Unica paper. As well as a set of charcoal and gouache drawings, composed in a model form, where the composition is made by joining sheets until the final format is reached.
