Mats Svensson
£0.00
Mats Svensson works mainly with intaglio printmaking in a black/white colour scale.
Mats Svensson's images have a shade of mystery. Has a catastrophe of some kind occurred? Or are we looking at an unknown form of civilisation? Beginning from a quite vague feeling via sketches, Mats starts working on the copperplate, starting with etching surfaces by the aquatint method. It is a quite a slow process where he forms the image step by step. After some layers of aquatint etching a proof print is made. With the drypoint then he continues making darker surfaces and lines. After proofprinting he may do extra etching and drypoint lines/surfaces until he is satisfied with the result.
Four years training in different graphic techniques.
