Labyrinth #11 is part of a series in which I use large oil linocut multi-impression block prints to explore the intersecting and concentric lines that make up a maze.

These mazes represent the confusion and complexity of the modern world, where everything seems connected and interdependent.

At the same time, labyrinths symbolize the journey to self-discovery, which I also aim to capture in my work.

Through the use of tessellated patterns, I create a sense of continuity and interconnectedness in the pieces, inviting viewers to get lost in the details and discover new paths and perspectives.

My work also pays homage to my childhood memories of craft books filled with similar imagery, adding a nostalgic and personal touch to the series.

Display in any orientation.

Two color oil multi-impression linocut on cotton fabric panel. Gallery wrap. 18" x 24" x 1.5" - 2023

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Linocuts

Engraving technique consisting in removing the blanks or “reserves” on a linoleum support. After inking, the raised part of the support is printed on paper or on another support.

Technic Printmaking

Printmaking was originally used to communicate. Exceptional technical characteristics make it a valuable artistic medium. The artist creates an image on a flat surface to make a print. To create an original print, the artist inks the surface and presses it onto paper. Printmaking is the process of printing artworks Usually on paper but also fabric, wood, metal and other surfaces. ... Except for monotyping, all printing processes can produce identical multiples from the same artwork. The works thus produced are called prints or "impressions".
