About the Item
Luke Gilliam has an unusual woodcut technique that he pairs with a complex object of his own creation. He uses technique to create a technical tour-de-force with the intriguing title Mnemonic Form. The central object ('form') is mostly a sphere, or orb, but also an open, aerated structure.
The largely gray palette and the sharp edges of the 'arms' or sections add a mechanical quality.
There are creases in the sheet and other minor defects. It is signed, titled, dated, and annotated 'Artist's Proof,' in pencil. In all likelihood it is scarce as is most of his work.

Composition - Original Woodcut by Luigi Spacal - 1970s

Original Colored woodcut print on cardboard.
Good conditions. Image Dimensions: 14 x 12.5 cm
Lojze Spacal, also known as Luigi Spacal, was born on the Trieste Karst, at the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, from a family of Slovenian nationality.In 1930 he was arrested on charges of anti-fascism and confined for some time to Accettura, in Basilicata. Here he discovered his artistic vocation. In 1934 he graduated in Venice. He began to exhibit his first works in 1937. In 1942 he was again sent to confinement, this time in Abruzzo and, later, assigned to a special working battalion in Forte dei Marmi. Nevertheless, he managed to continue to exhibit his works so much that, in 1944, he set up his first solo show. In 1948 he participated for the first time in the Venice biennial. In 1958 he won the International Grand Prix "for a draftsman and engraver" at the Venice Biennale. In 1959 he received the 2nd prize at the International Biennial of Graphic Art in Ljubljana. In 1974 he was awarded the Prešeren prize, the highest Slovenian artistic recognition, and the “San Giusto d'Oro” in 1977. In 1998 a museum was dedicated to him in the castle of San Daniele...
