Catchin’ Up With… Santy

“Here it is one of the latest work from me. It is
a xilographic print.It means that the design was created engraving into a wood
matrix and then printed with a “torchio” I don’t know how to say it in
English…on a paper. I’ve personally taken the pic of the final print and it’s
not a very good photo (some signs have been lost in the convertion from color
analogic photo into B/W digital) but at the moment is the best.

It
was a big work as the matrix is cm 90 x cm 206! and it takes me a lot of
time.It was done during 2003.As a Xilography it is a real fine art product, and
to make a print I need a studio (I can do this only in the rooms of academy of
arts), a friend to assist me, several hours of work…but I’m trying to find a
very nice spot to put one print on the streets…. oh, and that the guy in the
pic, it is not me.”... Santy
