Carborundum and drypoint on copper. Printing on BFK Rives paper 250 g. Unframed. Pierre Muckensturm added printmaking to his oeuvre since 2010. The engraving and printing process allows him to further explore notions of time and perspective. Muckensturm is inspired by the concepts of calmness, constancy and temporality. His work visually expresses a sense of harmony with time. In his prints, he begins with gestural marks, examining them in detail, transforming them gradually, exploring how they communicate differently as he alters their size, shape, depth, magnitude and orientation over time.

INSPIRATION Muckensturm is inspired by the concepts of calmness, constancy and temporality. His work visually expresses a sense of harmony with time.

The simplicity of its forms brought Muckensturm a feeling of tranquility. He began seeking ways to directly express how felt that day.
