Product description
Etching, aquatint, and color matrix by South Korean artist Deok Sung Kang, created around 1990. This artist's works, although inclined toward abstraction, are truly inspired by nature. They illustrate a very personal vision of everyday objects and phenomena. This artist's creative brilliance is widely recognized. In this case, the work is divided into two areas, the first featuring a red color, representing a pair of red roses using a fairly realistic technique. However, in contrast, there is a larger area of intense blue inspired by natural motifs and punctuated by a red stain. About the artist: Deok Sung Kang is a painter and printmaker of South Korean origin. He studied Fine Arts in his native country, although he later attended the École de Beaux Arts in Paris and, later, in 1989, settled in Madrid, where he continued his studies at the Complutense University of Madrid. The highlight of his work as a painter are his prints, often using rice paper as a support. Most of his works have been exhibited at fairs and exhibitions in Spain, but he has also done some in his own country, such as at the Seoul Art Museum. About the technique: The origin of prints in Asian art is based on the knowledge of printing texts on woodblocks, around the 8th century. Over time, it evolved, and this new art became accessible to the general public, opening the doors to the enjoyment of art and collecting, which until then had been limited only to merchants, wealthy warriors, and so on. Etching is a type of printmaking made using a metal plate (iron, zinc, or copper) as a base, which is covered with a light layer of protective varnish or acid-resistant wax. The engraver draws with a stylus on the varnish layer, reaching right up to the metal plate. The plate is then dipped in etching, hence its name, a solution based on water and nitric acid, which corrodes the copper in areas not protected by the varnish. The immersion time determines the depth of the line. Metal plates engraved with this technique can be printed with any ink color, prepared by combining various pigments and binders.
