Monotype by John Alexander. The Artist was invited to work at the Rice University to create a series of monotypes, produced by painting the image directly onto a metal plate which is then transferred to the paper via a large press. Instead of creating a small edition of prints, the result is a single, unique image. A “ghost image” or remnant from the previous inking is left on the plate which can be reworked by the artist. John Alexander more recent drawings and paintings include beautifully rendered birds, plants and animals (often those native to Texas and the Southern Gulf Coast states), and satirical work. Intéressante démonstration de la technique du Monotype (peinture à l’huile sur métal transférée grâce à une presse pour réaliser une impression unique) par l’artiste John Alexander…avec un sujet choisi parfaitement adapté pour ce Distrikt!
