Yess s... the new litho is ready! So happy with the painterly result and the great details! It was technically for sure not the easiest litho, in preparation and certainly not in painting, but good preparations pay off, printing went smooth and with such a rewarding result! In great cooperation with Klaus-Peter of Druckwerkstatt @bbk_berlin in Bethanien, Berlin, with whom I have been working together since already way back in 2009! And of course the great Johannisberger Schnellpresse aus 1907! Also since 2009
During my residencies I tent to zoom in on specific artists to study further. Armando with his strong connection to Potsdam and the war is one of them during this residency. Here in Berlin the history of war is still so vividly alive on many street corner. My first seres on small scale will be inspired by this, the past and present of certain locations and the mixture of them. A quote : ".. Armando introduceerde de term "schuldige bomen, bossen en landschappen", omdat ze getuige zijn geweest van gruwelijke oorlogshandelingen.... "Het bos heeft alles gezien en toegelaten, zonder een woord te zeggen. En het staat er nog steeds : onbewogen als altijd" (Armando uit "Aantekeningen over de vijand", 1981)
