Karl Stern
- Work
- Biography
Karl developed an individual technique derived from Collography by painting images that have been drawn by blade, cutting into card and working the surface. Figurative works are nearly always cut live and abstracted. Backgrounds and landscapes are also drawn live, or from photos and imagination, or a mix of all three. Raw pigments are mixed with shellac as a paint medium, rendering the image sturdy enough to make individual prints. Ink deposits are deliberately retained to 'finish' the piece with fine line and tone. Both the painted 'plate' and up to 4 different prints from each plate are available. Paintings are framed while prints may be mounted and/or framed.
The search for hidden meanings or emotions often shows through the work, with intense colors created through the density of pure pigment in the medium.
