Edition d'une lithographie en série limitée
Playing cards on the table, putting down the "Joker", flying towards better skies with the "Flight of Icarus" or falling, these works say the urgency in which I find myself, but also perhaps the emergence of new possibilities.
This fund is open to everyone, relatives, friends, acquaintances, collectors, art lovers, as well as to galleries or agents who might want to represent or support me. It is also a call for future collaborations.
From the urgency, the emergence...
After a very difficult year in 2020, in 2021 the risk of losing the workshop where I live with my daughter is real.
This project of solidarity collection appeared to me as a last solution.
- Soliciting your participation for the creation of a lithograph is today for me the only short-term way to sell my work by proposing the acquisition of a work accessible to the greatest number.
- To create an original work at a price as moderate as possible also motivates me enormously despite all its constraints, because my first goal is, after the need to create and to live from it, that my work be appreciated and visible by the greatest number.
- Here are the 3 possibilities to subscribe to these editions by a pre-order, that will allow their pre-financing and their realization in workshop.
I hope that everyone with his means can find in these choices a work which will please him / her. (Knowing that these prices are preferential during the collection until June 28th).
The "Joker" card that I play now to try to transform with your help a dramatic situation into an opening towards new encounters by renewing links, becomes essential.
The title of this first lithograph came about during the creative process.
Its process of realization by cuttings and displacements of surfaces led to the appearance of this subject, rather opportune... "Taking out the Joker"
1 - JOKER: a limited edition lithograph dated and signed 2021, prints from 30 to 120 copies on 63 x 50 cm or 56 x 72 cm sheets printed on 250 to 300 gr/m2 paper
STUDIES
The image above is an initial study conducted in February 2021
30 pre-sales minimum for a limited edition of 60
or 50 minimum for a limited edition of 120 to be defined by 10 June
The JOKER lithograph will be freely inspired by this model.
The design will be the same, only the layout and the choice of colours will be different
The making of a lithograph is a process that does not allow to know precisely the work before it is fully edited.
2 - Dreamer "Premises for the ascent of Icarus": project for a lithograph published in a limited edition dated and signed 2021. Prints from 30 to 90 copies, printed on paper 250 to 300 gr/m2, on a sheet 30 x 40 cm
Possible if a minimum of 30 pre-orders are placed
3 - Dreamer "Premises to the ascent of Icarus": A facsimile reproduction of an original drawing of 25 x 32.5 cm will be printed on paper 250 to 300 gr/m2, on sheet 30 x 40 cm, with very high quality pigment ink.
BELOW some details and color studies
Here is a study with a tracing part showing the whole pattern:

THE NUMBER OF COLORS USED
