hypersensitive

As a printmaking artist I want to create an artistic object in between traditional print and a book. I want to go back to the days when prints were made in series and were valued by regular people, not only art-collectors.

I would like to give a small, intimate piece of art that everyone can contemplate with in their own home. Go back to the idea that book itself is a piece of art, created by an artist, signed by them. Now we live in a time of digital files, where paper books can be free from all obligations, commitment to educate and can create a new meaning for themselves.

Set of multicolor linocuts printed in series of 64, size 18x24 cm.

The project has started with a set of 6 artistic sketchbooks. Each of them contains 100 quick hand drawing. Only 48 pictures had been selected and changed into a series of printmaking works. Although traditional graphic techniques require planning, precision and patient, the artistic goal was to preserve the freshness of sketches in them. Hypersensitive is a continuation of graphic cycle “LOST / lost paradise” is an analysis of the human condition. Paradise, utopia is a place as gorgeous as it is unreachable. Places and situation that are the goal of man’s constant pursuit. However, the work is about being lost, loss and emptiness.
