American Modernism Arnoldi, Charles n.d. from: String Theory. 2016. polymer intaglio with etching and colored photogravure on firm wove paper. 81.7 x 69 cm (102.6 x 87.5 cm). Signed, dated and numbered. - Very few, very slight traces of creasing in two margins, on verso punctual handling mark upper right, overall very good and exceptionally fine. Splendid, wonderfully nuanced and freshly colored impression of the large-format, informal composition with clearly impressed platemark and wide margins. One of 45 copies. - Printed by Peter Kosowicz, published by Thumbprint Editions, London. - The American artist Charles Arnoldi is known for his work with unconventional materials. He has devoted himself to the newly modern process of polymer intaglio printing, in which a polymer plate consisting of a thin metal carrier is coated with a light-sensitive plastic layer. The print is based on a photographic template, which is applied to the plate by manual or technical exposure to UV light, developed and printed in gravure. Arnoldi's highly spontaneous graphic idea is ideally realized, with expressive strokes merging into an informal composition. The interweaving of the lines evokes associations with the infinity of the universe and unfolds a broad spectrum of perception. Polymer gravure with etching and photo-etching on strong wove paper.
