Justin received us at the Pace Printmakers works space and gave us a tour explaining different techniques of print making. Usually the Gallery chooses the artist and the person comes for 3 hours to develop a new piece just for that print. The gallery also decides if it will be a mono piece or a Series/an edition. He gave us several examples of artists that dedicate one day a month for one year or a year and a half to work in that collaborative space. The people who work there share their own experience with the artist. The process is like a metal shop and they work in an old fashion way, avoiding new technology that is offered in the market. It was a very profound experience. I wish I knew more about printmaking.

Santi Moix
Two Passion, Watercolor with flowers
Hand-painted monotype
Pace prints presented the Santi Moix exhibition : Hanabi.
Hanabi highlights Moix’s new monotype work based on the explosive beauty of Japan’s Hanabi firework festival. He captured the energy and awe of the traditional pyrotechnic display. The Japanese festival celebrates humankind’s universal relationship to fleeting beauty, surprise and its connection to life.
We saw him working at the work place and his technique is to employ watercolor painting directly onto a plate, selecting masking areas of negative space, allowing the white paper to beam from it and mimicking dazzling areas of intense light in the sky. He paints water color flowers separately though they are inherent in the print itself. As each print passed through the press, the dampened paper reactivated the watercolor pigment and the image was transferred, creating a spectacular display of color and forms.
