French printmaker since 2020 - Hand Carved & Hand printed Sci-fi, science, occult inspired linocuts. Insta & shop here :
hahaha, , you’re welcome ! :)
This plate is made of lino. so I ink it and place my paper on it. I apply quite a bit of pressure with a tool and repeat for each print
Are your pieces “3D”/embossed like in the photo on your about me page?
Thank you very much ! yes, all my lino plates are as pictured. They’re hand carved with pfeil gouges. You can see more pictures of the plates on my instagram.
thank you very much :) haha ,the design of the pioneer plates and the golden record are indeed the source of my work.
thanks :)
thank you very much !! :)
Neat! I can understand some of that, and I’d like to understand the rest. Is there a guide or explainer?
thanks, not yet, I need to make an annotated version, I’ll try to do that before tonight :)
This reminds me of the inscription plate on the Voyager probe.
yes exactly, my work is rooted in the design of pionner and golden record plates
thanks :)
yes, my website link is on my profile.
The box you are talking about refers in the form to caustics which designates in optics and mathematics the envelope of light rays undergoing reflection or refraction on a surface or a curve. it is clearly visible above swimming pools in particular. In substance while touching the light it figuratively refers to a kind of ether. Aether, in physics, was a hypothesis that space was filled with an invisible, immaterial substance called “luminiferous aether”. Before the 20th century, scientists believed that light, like sound, had a kissin’ of an environment to propagate. They propagate through the air, where the expected light is thought to propagate through the ether. The only conceptual link is the central vertical part, it represents Feynman’s double slit experiment which illustrates the wave and particle nature of light and subatomic particles. Everything does not necessarily have a link, it is above all a graphic composition although it is partly composed of scientific elements.
thanks mate :)
as it is above all a graphic work I am a little reluctant to explain everything because it kills the mysterious aura. But I did it for this one because it is the most scientifically based of all my engravings : here is the explanatory sheet :)
hahahaha, thanks a lot ! I have to think about engraving this on rock, it will have a better chance of surviving a cataclysm.
Thanks a lot ! I had already posted a silver version here but this gold series being new I thought I would put it back here :)
I may have said this before but your works remind me of the Voyager Golden Records
yep, exactly, it’s a bit of my common thread since I started. the gold ink also contributes quite a bit :)
ahahah, poor result
Thanks mate ! indeed, i like the calls to contemplation allowed by the multitude of elements and homogeneity.
