Christine Guichard

Christine Guichard & Nbsp; Creates works on paper, she plays with the bright whites of the paper and the velvety blacks of the ink. His recent work adds gold to his combinations of black shapes on white paper. She notably produced works, in which the paper is embossed, he himself becomes relief, hollow and peaks, certain peaks that can shine, adorned with gold. Passionate by the technique of ink, she specializes in engraving. The metal plate, is not, only, a matrix which supports a drawing to reproduce, it is, for it, already a material to work which will be as sculpted in relief. Another essential part of his work is done at the time of the printing of the plate, such as the photographer who develops his photographs to adjust contrasts, saturation, light. At that time, she precisely searches for color, experiences certain effects, cracked, velvety, viscosity of inks, or combines different techniques on the same print (plastic engraving, wood, linocut). Its impressions of engraving and embossing are unique or in limited prints and always printed on very high quality papers 100% cotton and neutral pH.
