Artist's book / Lithographs
Series of lithographs on Chinese paper (30x30cm) resulted from exploring the printing process itself. Previously cut paper patterns placed on the matrix – square stone surface, indirectly formed the shape of the printed surface. Overlaid printed surfaces formed a unique visual composition that completely eliminated representative expression and illusionistic pictorial space. The materials used and the manner of their presentation became the prime reason for creating the work and its only reality. Visual composition of these lithographs contains different reduction degrees arising from the possibility of displaying and percepting, that is, from the fact that art does not reproduce real objects and spatial relations, but comes forth from the forms that are art themselves. None of the presented graphic sheets reached its 'final', 'completed' form; they were stopped in the process of their very existence – the essence of the work is in its creation, in its execution, but certainly not in its finalisation.
