Il foglio come scultura

experiment with relief printing in the Arnaldo Pomodoro studio / via Vigevano 3, Milan

After a brief visit to the current exhibition La negazione della forma. Arnaldo Pomodoro tra minimalismo e controcultura enter Arnaldo Pomodoro's laboratory to experiment with the dry printing technique, without the use of inks and to imprint relief shapes on the paper. We wet the printing paper, we prepare a matrix by gluing pre-cut objects and shapes onto a rigid cardboard to create a complex and articulated composition, we prepare the register and finally we print two examples of our art graphics with the press.
