Who am i as an artist: Essay & Analysis

I have been a printmaker now for over a year and a half, attempting and producing various types of prints, but as time has went on, I have become more confident in Screen-printing and seems to be my go-to so I will work towards that process in greater depth. Screen-printing is the printing process of transferring a design onto a relatively flat surface or textile by using Ink, a Silk/ mesh screen and Squeegee. Screen-printing has been a constantly evolving process that has become a favourite and Widley used because its colours are so vivid on dark fabrics, allows the printmaker to reproduce a design multiple time of various shapes and sizes, creates bold highly detailed prints with a wide range of inks available. I have become more familiar with this process over my HNC with creating very high standard and multicoloured pieces on various textiles with combining and printing digitally created threshold images onto tracing paper and transferring/ exposing them onto silk screens and for me, it’s a very rewarding process if done right. I have chosen to work towards Screen-printing as I am very organised and fluent in how I produce and style my work. The process and style stand out to me as a printer in terms of how freely you can layer and change the piece if you desire to create a depth on the piece or even develop it into a whole new piece which always gives a new perspective. Over time i would like to produce a portfolio that clearly demonstrates and expresses me as a person and an artist.

Chuck Sperry

Chuck Sperry is an American Printmaker who has been producing rock-based prints in San Francisco for the past decade. He specialises in multi coloured rock posters which catch the eye upon first glance. His use of colour and topic really depicts what he tries to convey through his style and artwork. His work can be compared to classic cultural murals with the sheer amount of detail and appropriation to colour and topic.

"Empathy" (2021)

Chuck Sperry. (2021). “Empathy” Blotter Art Release. [online] Available at: https://chucksperry.net/empathy-blotter-art-release-2/ [Accessed 14 Mar. 2021].

When looking at Sperry’s work, its clear he knows how to use colour appropriately, the way he mixes cold and warm colours to create a fresh perspective is quite an accomplishment. When first viewing his piece “Empathy”, my eyes instantly went to the blue section of the artwork as it feels like the coldest part of the image with the outer colours surrounding the blue feeling more enclosed and darker, it’s like Sperry did this intentionally to capture the viewers eye and make you look further into the print. The more I analyse this image, the more patterns I capture in the females skin and the gaps between the green flowers, it adds more depth to an already immersive print, The direction of the females stature facing towards the viewer with her eyes looking right at you creates this sense of mystery and welcoming which makes you want to know back story on her. The overall image gives off the idea that we should accept natural beauty like the female in the image has, she appears to be naturally faced with no make-up enhancements being present and is surrounded by nature in its truest form with no technology or human created materials shown. Sperry has blended floral decoration with natural human physique to give off the impression that this female is one with nature and the calmness in her facial expression makes you feel the same. The choices of colour used on this piece create a distinct aura of fresh and vibrant which adds to the images overall natural beauty, you find yourself being constantly drawn to another part of the image with how the yellow and orange bleed and blend into the green leaves and blue smaller flowers and when your eyes get used to that colour palette, the pink/magenta floral art grabs your attention making you spend more time analysing and investing in this print. The style Sperry has chosen for this image works as its already an busy image with lots of colour so his choice to keep the style simple but adding a lot of detail without it overtaking the image is an accomplishment. Overall this piece works visually and expressively giving the human eye something new to look at the longer the gaze.

Dogboy

Dogboy, also known as Philip Huntington, is a Camberwell College of Arts graduate who mixes and incorporates Screen prints and digital methods in his work. I came across Dogboy when first researching screen-print artists and his work stood out as it was bright, whimsical and mysterious which gives them their impressiveness. Dogboys work spans from the very obvious to the very abstract, showing that they don’t go into every piece produced with an idea of what they are trying to convey.

"Mutation"

Dogboy Illustration. (n.d.). MUTATION. [online] Available at: https://www.dogboy.co/work/illustration/mutation.

Out of all the prints Dogboy has produced, this one stood out to me due to its cold tonal presence. Even if you don’t have an understanding of what is going on in the image, the colour palette used is enough to draw you in and get you thinking. The image itself gives off a sense of helplessness as it depicts some sort of future, dystopian setting with the patterns along the walls and ceiling almost looking like 20th century depictions of spacecrafts on television, “people” horded together in a hole in the middle of the image desperately trying to escape while there are what appear to be “guards” just standing by, watching them pathetically attempt to escape. What makes this image stand out is how controlled yet unpredicting this image is. The amount of detail in this image makes it feel more real as the colour palette draws your eyes with how the turquoise mixes in with the lighter shade to create depth and vibrance in a cold, desolate image. The way Dogboy has kept the black part of the screen-print in the image imperfect adds to the density and darkness of the image while almost making it feel on purpose. When you aren’t drawn to the figures at the bottom, your eyes get drawn to the amount of different patterns and things going on in the top image, the sharp zig-zags and single line colours make the ares of the image seem si-fi and immersive, yet again another part of the image not lacking in detail and intricacy. It’s not clear what Dogboy is trying to convey or portray in this image, but I think that was his idea while creating this piece, To give the viewer no definition of what’s going on apart from the title of the piece and the image itself, to then let the viewers mind create its own depiction of what’s going on. Pieces like this stick in the mind as you’re brain is trying to create an understanding of what you’re visually seeing.

Rob Corradetti

Rob Corradetti is a Bay Area based artist who specialises in Screenprints, paintings, T-shirts, comics and Psychedelic pieces. His style is quoted as “a blend of head shop and punk rock” which he was inspired by in his coming of age in the early 1990’s. The thing that stands out about Robs work is how bright and fun it looks on first glance but makes you want to see more. He has collaborated with many pop culture bands and brands such as VANS, Buzzfeed and Wiz Khalifa.

"Death At Home" (2016)

Etsy. (n.d.). Death at Home Screen Print. [online] Available at: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/288520471/death-at-home-screen-print?show_sold_out_detail=1&ref=nla_listing_details [Accessed 14 Mar. 2021].

I had a look through Robs inventory of prints and its clear in all his pieces that he tries to give insight into different perspectives and his piece “Death At Home” is a great example. The images black background sets the overall tone of the image as it makes the environment seem enclosed and small focusing all your attention on the white outlines and patterns. This type of colour palette works for pieces like this, as theres alot of dexterity and There is so much going on in this image but yet still maintaining its overall image which creates this impressive, eye catchiness to the viewer. My interpretation of what is portrayed in this image is we as humans are so obsessed and reliant on technology that we spend most of our times indoors, In front of a television slowly rotting away in the comforts of our own homes till death. This is shown by the skeletal figure sitting close to the television, smoking and drinking, playing a videogame which states “game over” on the television which could be a metaphor for the once human now skeletal figure playing a game of life that they have now lost. Rob has succeeded in trying to portray this with his bold white and black colour palette blending together and the composition of the image giving the viewer an unknown sense of wonder. The image has so much going on in terms of detail and presence with how each white outline of the garb is its own and if you look even longer, you start to see other patterns and things going on in the image like the spiral swirls and eyes staring at the viewer. The image gives off a feeling of unsureness as it doesn’t really explain what’s going on too much, yet another piece of screen-print that makes the viewer create their own interpretation of this image. The pop art style really lifts the image off the ground and catches the eye even with its two-colour palette which is a great choice. Overall the detail, the matter of the image and the way is composed gives “Death At Home” so much revisit value in terms of what the viewer finds in the image and their interpretation. The image upon multiple viewings gives off this aura of Horror and when you delve into the image and what it stands for, it works.

Artwork Analysis: SAINT JEROME

Alasdair Gray: Saint Jerome (2017)

Upon first glance at Aladairs piece, theres a sense of loneliness that can be visually stated by the colour and portrayal of the image, that being (in my opinion and perspective) Saint Jerome among Wildlife, alone, possibly writing memoirs with quills beside a run down brick structure thats overflown with nature. Saint Jerome appears to be the only human presence visible, with long facial hair, wearing little to no clothes, looking content in his rundown surroundings, as if he’s been there for a long time. But i believe that Gray is trying to convince the viewer that Jerome seclusion from society was intentional. Jerome seems to look very relaxed, not fearful to be sitting comfortably beside what appears to be a lion who are known meat eating predators, looking at the viewer with a sense of invitation and reassurance. Looking further into the image, it could be said that he’s turned his back on human innovation to be one with his surroundings as theres little man made architecture or invention visable, almost as if he’s came to despise what humanity is or has done to the world we share with animals.

I’m convinced this was an intentional choice by Gray to convey said loneliness and seclusion along with the colour used. As Black & White are the only two pigments of colour, the matte black creates a main focus to everything going on, not distracting the viewer with any other dark colours while the white creates a vibrant background layering to convey the Blacks tonal presence and create the immersion of more open space. The variety of shapes and noise in said image creates an everlasting presence, almost like the art is breathing and adding to itself. I believe the two pigments where used to bring out the images visual beauty without distracting the viewer with a main focal point. The piece creates an amhpostphere of uncertainty with the colour and topic used, in terms of there isn’t a defined description of this image apart from what your brain is drawn to, I feel like Gray created this thought provoking piece to be visually absorbed and let the mind create its own interpretation which is a great creative choice as it creates depth, mystery and overall return factor.

Offset Printing - 1875

Offset printing was developed near 150 years ago and remains the same today, its still the most popular method for printing in bulk. Its mostly used alongside the Lithographic process to create and produce bulk orders of posters, magazines and other large formats of prints.

The Rotary Press - 1843

The Rotary Press was created by Richard March Hoe and was the follow up to the Printing Press. The rotary press worked by using cylinders which images that where to be printed where curved and bent around. It was a quicker and more efficient way to produce prints than the Printing Press as the Rotary Press gave a constant flow of paper to be fed in and out the press.

Etching- 1515

Etching was a popular method in the middle aged to decorate armour and was later applied to Printmaking by Daniel Hopfer, a German Craftsman. This Process of Etching involved producing a print from a metal plate which was made from Zinc or Copper. The plate is then covered in Ecthing Ground which is an Acid Resistant Substance, to be then drawn on with a preferably sharp tool. The plate is then set in the acid which removes areas which the etching ground didn’t protect. This created lines which are recessed and hold the Ink. Finally, the plate is put on to paper and sent through a press to produce the etched print.

The Printing Press - 1440

The Printing Press was invented in 1440 by Johann Gutenberg, The Printing Press built upon the techniques and method of “Moveable Type” and merged them into the one device that could be operated by hand. This was a huge step in Printmaking at the time, as it increased the speed that prints could be produced at a rapid rate and because of this, Printed texts became more commonly available to the lower class rather than just the wealthy and improved the lower class’ lifestyles drastically as they could self educate through what they read.

Moveable type 1041

Moveable type was created in 1041 by Bi Sheng in Song Dynasty, China. Moveable type is alot more similar to woodcut but was used specifically to print script. Before, lettering had to be fully written out, whereas Moveable Type allowed singular letters to be moved and placed to any order. The Tiles/ tablets which created the wording where made from clay and then wood and metal where used down the line for a better finish.

Screenprinting 1960-

Andy Warhol popularised screen printing as a medium and art technique. His work included the 1962 Marilyn Monroe Diptych which stood out with its bold colours. Another artist who found international fame was Sister Corita Kent during the 60′s and 70′s for her vibrant serigraphs. Kent used bright rainbow colours that contained wording of a politcal and peace, love and caring manner.

Michael Vasilantone was an American entrepreneur, artist and inventor who used, developed and sold a multicoloured, garment screen printing machine in 1960 who went on to create the original Screen Printing Machine in 1969. The Orignal machine was created to print logos and team information on Bowling garments but was directed to printing on tshirts. Vasilantones Patent that he originally filled out in 1967 was licensed by multiple manufactures to produce printed tees. This popularised the Screen Printing machine and today, screen printing on garments accounts for over half of the Screen Printing activity in the US.

Digital Hybrid Screen Printing is the joining together of analog screen printing and traditional digital, direct to garment printing. Both of these methods are the most common in the textile embellishment technologies today. Digital hybrid screen printing is an automatic screen-printing press with a screen print station that shows CMYK digital enhancements. Digital hybrid Screen-printing can create endless customisations and multiple data options with the ability of screen printing specific techniques.

Screenprinting 17th century research

Silk Screens where being used in France in the 17th Century as a way of printing onto fabric. the practice involved the ink would be pushed through mesh by stiff brushes. the method of stretching silk over frames to stencil weight was initiated and is now a big factor on how we print today.

Screenprinting 1900s research

In the early 1910s, Several printers experimented with photo-reactive chemicals using actinic light-activated cross linking, hardening traits of potassium, sodium or ammonium chromate and dichromate chemicals with gelatin compounds and glues.

Roy Beck, Charles Peter and Edward Owens experimented with chromic acid salt sensitized emulsions for photo-reactive stencils and studied it. these 3 developers introduced photo-imaged stencils which revolutionised the commercial screen printing industry. this method took many years to gain acceptance. As dichromates is toxic, Commercial screen printing now uses sensitisers as its safer

The word Serigraphy was coined in the 1930s by a group of artists including Max Arthur Cohn and Anthony Velonis (who later formed the National Serigraph Society) to differentiate the artistic application of screen printing from the industrial use of the process. The word "Serigraphy” meaning is a compound word formed from Latin "sēricum" (silk) and Greek "graphein" (to write or draw).

According to The Printers’ National Enviromental Assistance Centre, "Screenprinting is arguably the most versatile of all printing processes. Since rudimentary screenprinting materials are so affordable and readily available, it has been used frequently in underground settings and subcultures, and the non-professional look of such DIY culture screenprints have become a significant cultural aesthetic seen on movie posters, record album covers, flyers, shirts, commercial fonts in advertising, in artwork and elsewhere.”

Screenprinting origin 960-1279AD research

Silk Screen Printing is dated back to the ancient times and may be the oldest and most practical printing technique today. Silk Screen printing first appeared as a recognisable form in China and traces back to during the Song Dynasty (960-1279AD). Japan then adopted the idea of using silk as a mesh, then developed and avanced the process over time. During those times, stencils where paper cut outs and woven from human hair. The Ink was forced through the mesh onto the fabric by stiff brushes. Screen-printing took a while to get on its feet in Western Europe as Silk was sacred and expensive in the rest of the world, once Silk mesh became more available in the 1700′s, Western Europe became more interested and established Silk Screen Printmaking

Lithography Printing 1796 research

Lithography Printing

Lithography was first invented in Germany around 1796 by Alois Senefelder, a Bavarian Playwright. He accidentally discovered that he could duplicate scripts by writing his scripts in greasy crayon on slabs of limestone which then he would print over in rolled on Ink. Local Limestone retained any crayon marking so relentlessly applied to its surface even after repeated inking and printing so the scripts could be printed in unlimited quantities.

In Planographic Printing, Lithography is considered the first and most important, its based on the chemical principles that oil and water don’t mix but will attract the same like substances such as stone which adheres to a porous ground. in 1820′s, Commercial artists realised that images could be drawn on stone as easily as on paper as stones had a reuse factor. Pen & Ink, Chalk and crayon could be used to draw on stone and in 1830, a watercolour based wash that was applied with a brush could be used known as lithorites. After cheaper printing methods were developed (Wood Engraving, Lithography) it became possible to print illustrated medical textbooks thats where inexpensive. Although lithographs where cheaper than Relief or Intaglio illustrations, Colour was still a very expensive material that had to be applied by hand and was mainly used for more upscale scientific or medical books.

Intaglio Printmaking research

Intaglio Printing was invented in Germany around the 1430s and is one of the first methods of producing prints. This method was mostly used by Goldsmiths in the ancient times who decorated Metal work and armour. Its been suggested that Goldsmiths would begin to replicate their work to keep references.

Intaglio Printing is the opposite of relief Printing as Intaglio Printing is done from ink that is on the surface of an copper, zinc, aluminium, magnesium, plastic, or even coated paper plate. Ink is then applied into the creases or grooves and the surface is then wiped clean.

Intaglio Printing is the process of embossing paper into incised lines which acquires enormous pressure. Engraving, etching, dry point, and mezzotint are the methods of Intaglio printing that require the most major work. Intaglio printing is the most versatile of the printmaking methods, as you can produce a wide range of effects with most techniques. 3D Intaglio produces the richest printed surfaces.

Scottish Culture- Brief interpretation

Mindmap

For this brief, We have to create 1 A3 sized piece that reflects our interpretation of Scottish culture. I have created a mindmap to give me ideas of how to develop my ideas, rather than go for the common sterotypes, i’m going to develop 2 ideas that reflect modern day scottish culture and how Scotland has changed over time with its traditions/culture. I have always been fascinated by the architecture in Scotland and its one of my key inspirations one of my ideas, another idea i have had is as i live in the East End of Glasgow which is mostly known for its “rough” and “poverty stricken” areas, i may create a piece that reflects that and integrate the culture and architecture into one.

Moodboard

I have created a mood-board of my interpretation of Scottish Culture, both what i have always known it as and what i see in present day. Scottish culture is different to everyone depending on where you live and/ or what you have saw, my main focus will be on Modern Day Scottish culture and hows its adapted in the 21st century with my developing my experiences of and views.

I don’t have a particular favourite but one that has always caught my eye is The Great Wave off Kanagawa, also known as The Great Wave or simply The Wave, is a woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai. It was published sometime between 1829 and 1833 in the late Edo period as the first print in Hokusai's series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. What makes me hold this image to high regard is the simplicity of the print and how its due to the colours used and the purpose of the image itself, its also a great example of how different cultures impact Printmaking and make it their own.

What type of printmaking inspires you? Why? (Genre, style etc.,)

Screen-printing has always been my go to and inspirational favourite of the methods of printmaking, as it lends heavily towards creating an image either digitally or practically to then screen it onto other materials (paper, wood, tshirts, cotton ect.). screen-printing is mostly used to print designs onto tshirts, hoodies or any type of clothing and as i’m heavily into music and designing, i would like to create designs for bands one day possibly.

Sam Dunn is a freelance Illustrator based in South East London / Kent. Whilst studying at Cleveland Collage of Art and Design in 2007, she began creating Gig posters and T-shirts for both local and national bands and continued throughout her time at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. She graduated in 2011 with a 1st class honours in Graphic Design and Illustration. Since then, she has worked with a wide range of clients including international bands, brands and charities. Her work is delicately crafted by hand with pen and ink then coloured digitally with many layers of found and forged textures. The way she uses colours to her advantage to make images pop is something i try to apply to my work both practically and digitally, she also likes to heavily use nature in her images and overall is such a talented Illustrator.

Below i have attached some of my favourite work from her:
