About the Item
This is an original gouache painting layered over an original archival pigment print using alternative process photography. Image measures 18.5" x 9.25" on 20.5" x 12.25" Hahnemühle German Etching 100% rag paper. Ava Blitz uses digital technology as an experimental tool, the camera and the computer serving as a painterly and draftsman’s/printmakers instrument. Digital artifacts, halos, blurs, and pixels, considered to be mistakes, are used as part of Blitz's language. She often paints or draws into these images, creating a layering of process. The images recall conventions found in Eastern and Western imagery, from classical to popular culture. Each one takes its own intuitive path to completion, resulting in a new magical reality.
This piece will be signed, titled, and dated on the front or back according to buyer's specifications.
