Fatchi Baradja Workshop at Grafis Minggiran
This week we are hosting Mohammad Fatchi Baradja, a young artist from Bandung who has made a series of aquatint etchings that we will exhibit at Krack, opening Saturday March 8
In the leadup to his show he presented a to workshop at Grafis Minggiran, explaining the complex process involved in making these works. These images are intaglio prints made from multiple brass plates to create one image. He uses the technique of aquatint and permeable ground to open up the notches on the surface of the plate. Applying ink is done with viscosity and a`la Poupée techniques to achieve the desired colours.
