Description
Also called Collagraph or Colography in different parts of the world, is a hollow engraving process performed using additive techniques.
The contribution to the world of engraving is the substitution of traditional matrices for alternative materials, which allows artists to create matrices with greater freedom, obtaining images rich in textures, reliefs, intense blacks, gestural strokes, etc. , which are closer to the material language of contemporary art.
- Brief theoretical and historical introduction
- Knowledge of materials (cardboard, wood, plastics, metals) and systems (fillers, acrylics, polymers, sands, fabrics etc. )
- Matrices elaboration
- Stamping
- Samples of works carried out using this procedure
