Alice Valentina Biga | Islands, 2021
Aquatint
Media Dimensions: 51 x 51 cm
Image Dimensions: 45 x 45 cm
Edition of 5
Framed/unframed
For extended time Alice Valentina Biga’s work has expressed a need to elaborate her family past, using traditional metal etching, photopolymer and screen-printing. Her current practice present itself as a more graphic and balanced journey. Combining printmaking with photographs and drawings, her intention has always been and is to create an intuitive connection with the heart of the image observer. The practice has been evolving from a morbid dialogue between her family past and experiences to a composition of abstract elements and urban landscapes. Her work combines hand drawn elements and photographs using a variety of intaglio and planographic techniques. The prints presented here are part of a tryptic of etchings on copper, where ink has been used as an acid resistant to mask the aquatint instead of the traditional varnishes. Valentina graduated from Camberwell College of Arts in 2012 with an MA in Printmaking. She has exhibited widely since 2012 in several independent shows and larger mixed exhibitions. Highlights include the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2024 and 2017, Bite Artists Making Prints, On Paper, Bainbridge Open and Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair.
