Will Hübscher Artwork

Pennsylvania

When the creative spirit of one's soul is denied, the soul becomes prey to stress, chaos, and confusion.

Through my own artistic development, I have come to the awareness that deep within each of us exists talent and a need to express it. I find uniqueness in everyday things and a mystery and sensuality that everyone has to offer. It is time to explore it.

Technique

My art is not computer generated prints, Giclées, or printouts, although a computer is used in their making. To create the monotypes, I scan the images into the computer, tinting the black-and-white photos with color, and then print them using archival inks onto lithograph or photographic paper. Once the image is on this new surface, I cut and trim them, and then assemble the pieces into a collage. The collage is then passed through an etching press with a wet transfer medium. This transfers the image and presses it onto archival watercolor paper creating all the rich textures and bleeds. This may take one printing or many until I get a final print that I am satisfied with.

To finish the process, each piece is saturated with a non-yellowing lacquer spray specifically made for these inks to set the colors and inhibit fading.

Each print is a unique piece of artwork.
