黑料不打烊

Anders Wahlstedt Fine Art is pleased to announce Unicum, an exhibition featuring eleven works, seven artists, and five approaches to print-making. Monotypes, trial proofs, and lithographs with hand-coloring are three of the techniques included in the exhibition. John Zurier鈥檚 2017 monotypes emphasize a critical relationship between gesture and production. Monotypes require artists to transfer a painted surface - typically glass or metal - to paper before the image dries. The richness of Zurier鈥檚 final print depends on his application of ink, pressure, and speed. Near-monochromatic prints featuring gestural brushstrokes accentuate the dynamic between Zurier鈥檚 physical touch and proficiency of technological production. Trial proofs serve as an opportunity for artists to adjust color schemes and compositional details before printing the complete edition. The prints reveal an artist鈥檚 process, providing viewers with the remarkable opportunity to trace revisions otherwise left in a print shop or studio. Each trial proof is unique, and their differences underscore the labor involved in print making. Color trial proofs by Mark Tobey, for example, stress the artist鈥檚 proficiency in color.
