Embossing

Embossing is a technique used to create raised designs or images on a surface, typically paper. Artists achieve this effect by altering the shape of the paper, often by pressing it from the reverse side using a template and a tool like a sanded dowel. The result is a design with multiple levels of depth, giving a three-dimensional appearance.

Diptych

A diptych is an artwork composed of two panels. These panels can be painted, carved, or made using various mixed media techniques. They may be connected by hinges, allowing them to close for protection, or they can be displayed side by side. Historically, diptychs were often used in religious art.

Neo-Geo

Known as Neo-Geo for short, this movement uses geometric objects and shapes to create abstract artwork as a metaphor for society. Inspired by various 20th-century art styles, including minimalism and pop art, Neo-Geo emerged in the 1980s as a response to the industrialization and commercialization of the modern world. The movement reflects on the impact of mass production, consumerism, and technology, often critiquing the superficiality of contemporary culture through its abstract, geometric compositions.
