THE LOVERS (2023)

Oldřich Hamera (1944-2021) — Untitled  (combined graphic technique, monotype, 2005)

Monotypes — art by George Pratt

I love working with monotypes. Seeing Degas' monotypes for the first time was revelatory for me. It's said that he would take a train journey and just stare out of the window at the passing landscape. Once at the studio he would pull out the plates and the oils and try to capture the memory of those fleeting fields. Looking at those prints, they feel so spontaneous and free, mysterious yet oddly specific.

I love that I don't know for sure what I'll get when I set the plate down to pull it through the press. And that's half the fun — not knowing. Since the image is reversed once pulled, It's one of the few ways I get to see my work the others might see it for the first time.

Monotypes are a joy to do (via georgepratt.com)
