Final out come planning
I decided to use a smaller piece of Lino (A5) and calved a similar figure into it and printed with it using a range of coloured paints and placements/compositions. This was unsuccessful because the Lino was so small that I couldn’t replicate the same image of using my hand to cover the face. Because of this it doesn’t have any element off concealment or nature so it doesn’t link as well to my project.
I think I will add to the image to support my theme further for the next attempt.
The thing that I like most about this is I like how the colours and prints are placed I like the layout and how the colours are almost opposite each other.It reminds me of Andy Warhol’s art work.
Because I liked the layout of how I printed the smaller prints,I decided to develop this idea and I made some double prints on A3 paper.These were more successful than the prints I created with the background. This is because I don’t like the colour combination and the prints look like its being lost within the blue background.
The prints below were created using the profile view of the face alongside a hand covering the face. This links further with my idea of concealment. Someone concealing their face with their hand. It also links with some of my research into artist Flora Borsi who concealed objects in a face. Whilst my work is print and hers was photography I have been sinpired by this
Then I decided to combine the two factors which I liked the most which was the double print of the figure with the flowers on top . However when I printed the flowers , I used 2 colours red and yellow. I decided to alternate them for the first print I did red on top and yellow on the bottom and and for the second red on bottom yellow on top.
Because I used so many colours on one print, I don’t think this worked very well. I think it would be more successful if I only use 2 colours in one print as this will be still putting my point across but it won’t be really confusing with the distracting colour.
