EXPRESS YOURSELF THROUGH MONOPRINT




On the run, 2016, monoprint on paper, 40 cm x 40 cm


   'On the run' is a monoprint painting created in the most unexpected way. After many trials and experiments, I decided to reuse a printed plate for create this piece. My intention was just to use this piece as an experiment, however I was totally surprised by the result. The texture of the print was absolutely stunning and the details in the painting was perfectly printed in just one trial. I guess sometimes our most satisfying work can be made in the most surprising and simple way.

   The colors and pattern of this piece was created with a combination of ink and water based medium, namely acrylic and water color. The texture of this painting was created with painting gears like rough edge brushes, roller, net and liquid acetone. Of all the works in this series , Underwater 2 is 'hand down' the most challenging work to create.

   Texture of this painting was especially hard to create. Because I want to create bubble like texture and soft transition of color, it was extremely difficult for me to find the right color medium. With just the use of ink, I was able to create the transparent effect of water. I also use roller I was able to smooth the paint on the painting plate. The shape of bubbles and the net were made with the use of acetone drop and a small piece of washing net.
