Artwork description:

An original linocut portrait of Vietnamese rap star Wowy. This is an original, handmade piece that is a must for any music fan.

This is a limited edition linocut, printed on beautiful 285gsm Fabriano Rosapina Avorio paper. It is hand signed and numbered by the artist.

Each work will not be identical to the next, due to the nature of the printing process, but this adds to its unique quality.

HOW THE ARTWORK IS MADE:
This is a handmade and handprinted linocut. The artwork is created by drawing out the image directly onto linoleum and then using small cutting tools, the image is intricately carved out. Whatever is cut away from the surface does not pick up the ink during printing, what remains does. In printmaking terms, a linocut is a form of relief printing. After inking up the linocut, high quality paper is placed over the image and the back of the paper is rubbed vigorously, using a wooden spoon. This is called hand-burnishing. The entire process is very labor-intensive, but the result is a beautiful, limited edition art print.

It is packaged carefully using protective tissue to reach you in the best condition.

If you have any questions relating to the work before purchase please don't hesitate to ask me.

Materials used:

ink, linoleum, paper
