Monoprint

MonoprintMonoprinting is a printmaking technique where a single impression is created from a re-printable surface, such as a lithographic stone, wood block, or metal plate. Unlike traditional printmaking, where multiple copies are produced, monoprinting results in a unique image. Techniques used in monoprinting include etching, lithography, and woodcut, but the key characteristic is that each print is one-of-a-kind.

I feel no shame about having paintings be as grandiose and ridiculous as possible.
- Laura Owens

Widely recognised for her use of both cultural and art historical references and ability to create across such movements as figuration, Pop Art and abstraction, Laura Owens is a painter whose influences range from Henri Matisse to cartoon characters, creating work that often defies specific categorisation. Among Owens’ most notable works is her 2015 series of paintings based on newspaper stereotype plates (circa 1940); the plates were discovered by Owens under the sliding of her home, and as with a lot of her works, the series combined traditional oil paint with screen printed images that had been digitally manipulated using software. Of her untethered and often indefinable style, Owens has remarked “I feel no shame about having paintings be as grandiose and ridiculous as possible”. (Artist website)

What is Gestural?

Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
