About the Item

This piece titled "Waves" is an original piece by Alexis Nutini and is made from a woodcut monoprint mounted on panel. This piece measures 14.5"h x 9.5"w. As a woodcut printmaker, Nutini invites experimentation in every aspect of his creative process. Nutini works to contrast the determinability of the printing matrix by engaging in what he calls “chance operations”, adding elements like laser cutting, CNC routing, moiré patterns, and collaging found objects. His inventive methods of arranging his signature graphics, VHS cassette tape, and discarded domestic objects with different ink finishes create a dimensionality so that each work is a progression from the last. Inside his studio is his library of woodblocks spanning 15 years, leaving the opportunity to be reworked and reinvented as they appear throughout the collection. While his woodworking and traditional printing skills are at the basis of the work, Nutini continues to add elements of digital technology to push the complexity and create a narrative from his impression. Nutini celebrates the longevity of the woodcut as opposed to other printmaking methods, as the block remains years after an edition is done, transforming into a personal record for the artist. Each piece displays hints of a time signature in both Nutini’s career and his personal life. They mark how his artistic skills flourished and reflect his lived experience, like the memory of teaching his young son how to draw on a computer. Nutini explains, “Even though it’s not overtly in the content, everything for me has a time signature of when it was made. I title my pieces with what movie was on the VHS tape, or what mix was on the cassette. I remember where all of those objects were found. In a way, they are my own personal annotation.” Nutini gives new life to retired woodblocks and found objects, creating a cyclical timeline that documents the past through a constantly expanding artistic process. Born in Mexico City, Alexis Nutini received an MFA in Printmaking from the Tyler School of Art in 2005, a BA in Fine Art from St.Mary’sCollege of Maryland in 2000 and completed a Fulbright Fellowship in Barcelona, Spain in 2001. Alexis runs Dos Tres Press, a printshop in south Philadelphia where he maintains a print publishing business and develops collaborative print-based projects. He focuses on rigorous experimentation with relief printmaking techniques through hand-carved, reduction woodblock printing and the digital technology of platemaking with Computer Numerical Control (CNC) routing.
