The original silkscreen artwork has the particularity of being drafted by the author of the work directly, or carried out jointly between the silkscreen master, who dominates the technique and the artist. This is an hand made process requiring a total immersion in the work, care and long work hours. In the flash movie down here, we can see some pictures taken when editing an original work of Alfonso Albacete with the expert in silkscreen Jose Jimenez at La Ermita studio. The book has been published in paper form Arches of 250 grams, size 120cmx160cm,and using over thirty inks.
For each color, have been worked positives by hand (using opaque ink on a transparent or translucent acetate); a screen has been prepared; the ink colors have been carefully selected to be printed, playing with effects and qualities that eventually lead to a limited serie of silkscreen artwork -signed and numbered one to one by Alfonso Albacete-. This time, Alfonso Albacete edited with Jose Jimenez; professional with nearly forty years of experience in the technique of screen printing. It is therefore a work of a great artistic value and an example of cooperation to enrich the result: a limited series produced over thirty ink on paper Arches of 250 grams, numbered and signed by the artist. These pieces are suitable for collectors and institutions seeking the highest level in editing original artwork.
La Ermita edits original artwork in different formats for companies and institutions, collectors, art galleries or individuals.
For companies and institutions it is offered the possibility of commissioning custom series in which they can select artist and work, format, number of ink and paper type, according to customer needs.
