Etching and monotype - 2 plates of 140 x 100 cm. each Printed on Hahnemuhle, 300 gr. Total size 140 x 200 cm. e/u (epreuve unique)

Dogs (Diptych, Earth Tones) by Alison Wilding is a unique monotype and etching created in 2005, consisting of two large plates, each measuring 140 x 100 cm, printed on Hahnemühle paper. The diptych showcases abstract, flowing forms in deep earth tones, with layered hues of brown and ochre that evoke natural landscapes or organic structures. The bold, sweeping lines and gestural strokes create a sense of movement and depth, while the earthy palette gives the work a grounded, almost primal feeling. Wilding’s expressive use of line and texture invites viewers to interpret the forms freely, highlighting her ability to blend abstraction with evocative materiality.

Ludwig Wilding (Germany, 1927–2010) was a pivotal figure in Op and Kinetic art. His three-dimensional works, often in black and white, created dynamic optical illusions that challenged visual perception. Exhibiting internationally, Wilding's art continues to influence contemporary explorations of movement and space.

Medium

Monotype

MonotypeMonotype is a printmaking technique where an image is painted or drawn on a nonabsorbent, smooth surface, traditionally an etching plate of copper, but now also acrylic, zinc, or glass. The image is then transferred to paper using a printing press, creating a unique print. The first pressing removes most of the ink, making it difficult to produce additional prints with the same richness, resulting in a one-of-a-kind artwork.

Different performances have different kinds of outcomes. I would say live bodies sometimes activate a space.
- Alison Wilding

Alison Wilding is a twentieth century English sculptor. She studied at Nottingham College of Art, the Ravensbourne College of Art and Design and finally at the Royal College of Art, where she left in 1973. Although she began her career specializing in multimedia artworks, she is perhaps best known for her abstract sculptures which she used a large array of materials to create. She has worked with wood, bronze, stone, wax, silk, steel and a whole host of other materials. One of her best known pieces of work is called Stormy Weather and beeswax, oil and pigment rubbed into steel. She was inventive and groundbreaking in her methodologies. She made one significant piece of public artwork which is located on the River Wear in Sunderland. The piece is calledAmbit and consists of a number of steel tubes which float on the river and are lit at night. Alison Wilding was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1988 and 1992.

What is Process Art?

Process Art is an artistic movement and creative approach where the focus is on the act of creation rather than the final product. The term process in this context refers to the various stages of art-making, including gathering, sorting, associating, and organizing materials and actions. This movement emphasizes the artistic journey and the human expression involved in creating art, rather than the finished piece itself. Process Art is driven by inherent motivation, intentionality, and the rationale behind the actions, viewing the creative process as the true artwork.
