Art Matters - The Art Of Making Serigraph The process for making a fine art serigraph is widely known as silkscreen printing. Paint or ink is brushed through a fine screen made of silk or polyester with masks used to produce the design. Serigraphy is a highly labor intensive process. As an example, for 100 color screenprint it can take up to 2,000 man hours to create. One of the advantages is the depth of color and detail that can be achieved. From the original painting a commercial photographer makes a C print to provide a current scale to work from. When the first mylar is complete it moves to the next step of the silkscreen process. This screen is first coated with a photographically sensitive emulsion. This process is repeated for each color. Working from about 15 basic colors, a color mixer can make any color in the world. The inks range from transparent glazes to opaque. Now the screen is placed on the press, and the ink applied by the printer, one print at a time.

A Stunning, Intricate Maze Made From 2,200 Pounds of Salt | Co.Design Motoi Yamamoto has to be the most patient man in the world. A Japanese artist, Yamamoto uses salt to create monumental floor paintings, each so absurdly detailed, it makes A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte look like child's play. He calls them, fittingly, his Labyrinths. Yamamoto's latest labyrinth creeps out from a brick tunnel at the Fondation Espace Ecureuil, a gallery in France. He made it -- as he makes all these installations -- by sprinkling salt on the floor through a plastic bottle used for machine oil, starting at the back of the tunnel, then moving forward to avoid stepping on the designs he's already drawn. The whole thing took 50 hours over the course of five days and a whopping 2,200 pounds of salt. Here's an older installation at Sankt Peter parish in Cologne: The story behind Yamamoto's salt sculptures is sweet and sad. Yamamoto takes pains to extend the metaphor beyond the walls of the art gallery.
Artist Representative, Dealer, Manager, Gallery << Back to Articles for Artists The artist makes art and once that art is made, the artist makes more; once that art is made, the artist makes more. The artist periodically calls, emails or physically shows that art to art world professionals like dealers, gallery owners, representatives, curators and agents. Some of them like the art so much that they want to represent, show or sell it. If you think that's how the art business works and how you sell art, you need to change the way you think. Your mission as an artist is to survive in a style that allows you to continue to make art-- and that means finding people to buy it. Art business professionals sell art by convincing people that it has value-- tangible as well as intangible-- and that it's worth paying money for in order to own. The same holds true for you as an artist. Demonstrating your "marketability" is essential, but especially so if the people you're contacting have little or no idea who you are. * Address loyalty concerns.
