Biography
Oi Fortin is a multimedia artist with a primary focus in Monotype Printmaking. She was born in Bangkok, Thailand and now lives and works in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. Her current work is inspired in part by Henri Matisse’s Cut-Outs. She cut-out shapes in newsprint and modified the pressure of the printing press to transfer the inked cut-outs onto printmaking paper. Her prints are made in layers; each layer has to dry before another can be added. A finished piece can have 8-10 layers, taking up to 6 weeks to finish. This series expresses both meditative calm and exuberant, joyful energy.

Monotype Print, oil, on Arches88 paper, 2019
This monotype print is made for commission request. I am generally prefer not to work under constrain by colors, shapes, size. However this was a challenge I took up and the effort pays off. This particular print is very difficult and time consuming due to multiple lays of colors, shapes, each one takes a few weeks to dry before the other can be placed.The making and thinking process is interrupted which making this work so difficult. My usual way of working is immediate, quick, decisive and be done in pass. So, this is a learning curve for slowing me down and more thinking then doing. It is still fun!
