POP EXPRESSIONISM

Following in the footsteps of Pop Art Artists, I take my inspiration from the simplistic style of comics.
I see it as an ideal medium to illustrate our social fantasies. A major theme of my work is the Judeo-Christian bipolar values of good and evil. I investigate symbols and stereotypes. Like a charade, a play on images, I put on display paintings whose association brings to light the arch messages that our society forwards to us.

Kamikaze


J'ai commencé les tests de trames et de couleurs cette semaine pour ma sérigraphie Kamikaze, nous allons faire aussi des tests de tirage sur différents papiers 100 % chiffon sans acide pour choisir le plus réceptif aux couleurs ... Le résultat s’annonce pas mal bien.





















I started halftone screens and color tests for the Kamikaze silkscreen, we also are going to do some printing tests on different 100 % cotton rag and acid free paper to see which one holds best the colors … Everything looks very promising.

Avis aux amateurs,


suite à de nombreuses demandes, je lance une souscription afin de démarrer la production d’une sérigraphie en 80 exemplaires basée sur mon œuvre KAMIKAZE.

La sérigraphie est une technique privilégiée du Pop Art qui convient parfaitement à mon travail avec ses couleurs à la fois éclatantes et opaques, j’ai enfin trouvé un atelier à la hauteur de  mes exigences artistiques. J’ai retravaillé Chaque élément minutieusement à partir des esquisses et encres préparatoires, la finesse du trait, la séparation et le chevauchement des couleurs, les angles des trames afin de répondre aux spécificités du procédé sérigraphique. Le tirage sera réalisé sur papier de qualité Muséale de 245 mg, 100 % chiffon sans acide au format final de 26 X 34 pouces (66 X 86 cm) en sept couleurs en aplat plus cinq trames demi teintes à la manière des bandes dessinées des années 60. Le tirage final sera réalisé dans l'atelier La Bourgeoise Sérigraphe Inc. à Montréal qui répond aux plus hauts standards de qualité. 

Chaque sérigraphie sera numérotée de 1 à 80 et signée. Elle sera vendue 400 $ canadiens taxes incluses, frais d'envoi en sus.
Les dix premiers acheteurs auront un rabais de 50 $ et l'assurance d'avoir une des 10 premières épreuves numérotée et signée.
Je demanderais aux personnes intéressées de me verser la somme de 150 $ par Paypal à mon adresse email : paulabrahamart@gmail.com
Je vous enverrais aussitôt un reçu par email confirmant votre paiement et la réservation du numéro de l’épreuve attribuée dans l’ordre d’arrivée. Dès que j’aurais atteint le quota d’acquéreurs je lancerais la production.
Après paiement de la somme restante et des frais d’envoi, la sérigraphie vous sera envoyée dans les trente jours à compter de la date de réception des dix premiers versements.

Notice to Art Lovers, 


further to numerous requests, I launch a subscription to start the production of a silkscreen printing in 80 copies based on my KAMIKAZE work.

The silkscreen printing is a Pop art privileged technique that suits perfectly my work with its vibrant and opaque colors. I finally found a workshop as high as my artistic requirements. I have re-worked every element minutely from sketches and preparatory ink work, line sharpness, color separation and trapping, angles of halftones to answer the specificities of the serigraphic process. The print will be produced on Museum quality 245 mg, 100 % cotton rag paper. It’s final format will be 26 X 34 inches (66 X 86 cm) in seven opaque colors plus five halftone screens in the style of the comic strips of the 60s. The final edition will be realized at La Bourgeoise Sérigraphe Inc workshop in Montreal who answers to the highest quality standards.

Every print will be numbered from 1 to 80 and signed. It will be sold $400 Canadian tax included, excluding postage.
The first ten buyers will have a $50 discount and the assurance of getting one of the first 10 prints.
I will ask the people interested to make a down payment of $150 by Paypal to my email address: paulabrahamart@gmail.com
I will send immediately an email receipt confirming the payment and the attributed print number in order of subscription. As soon as I will have reached the buyers' quota I will launch the production.
After full payment plus postage charges, the silkscreen print will be sent to you in thirty days as from the date of reception of the first ten payments.

To subscribe and reserve your print or if you have any questions or concerns email me at:

Talking about the graphic line...


This quote from an interview in Le Monde (1973) of the Cartoonist Herge, the creator of TINTIN, defines really well my philosophy of the graphic line, the essence of my visual research.

«Sawing the drawings of (Roy) Lichtenstein I’ve been fascinated by the similarity between the production of his drawings and mines. We can feel that it’s cleaned: there’s only one line at the end, not 36, this line is going to be decisive: it as to be well selected, there’s a lot of work before finding that line. We feel that in his sketches – and I know that he estimates TINTIN for the same reasons: this violent work on the paper and then we “cool down” the drawing, keeping only the best line at the end. The line that seems to embody, to the artist who draws it, all the energy, all the movement. »
Here below a few images from one of my last works to illustrate the work on the line: “The Archangel” production sketches to the finished piece composed of aluminum and wood layers, painted with Flash and real 23 K gold leafs.
This 3D piece measures 36 X 48 X 12 inches (depth) it has been showed at Joyce Yahouda Gallery, 372 Sainte Catherine street West, Suite 516, Montreal.
