Sang Art with "The Sun In Love" in Tehran biennial

An illustration from SaNg Art, Pearl Project

has been accepted in the 6th Tehran Biennial of Illustration 2013

حضور اولین تصویرسازی‌ مجموعه مروارید از پروژه‌های سنگ در ششمین بینال تصویرگری تهران 1392

Actually it is a mix-media work, adding a touch of pencil on the final mezzotint work. It seems that collaborative work never ends! You see the process:

این کار حاصل کار با مداد روی محصول نهایی چاپ مزوتینت است. به نظر می‌رسد که کار مشترک هرگز تمامی ندارد و باز هم می تواند کار دیگری روی آن انجام شود. می‌توانید مراحل کار را در تصویر ببینید:

Pearl project is beginning

This big print was done based on one of the old traditional love stories from Mexico. This metaphorical image is the first work of the new Sang art project which is called "Pearl". We will keep you posted. Some lines from the beginning of the story:

The Sun in love with the Moon

Popular Mexican (Mayan) tale told by Luigi Dal Cin

A long time ago, the Sun god fell in love with the Moon.

So he began giving her his rays, but the Moon remained cold in her icy whiteness.

“What can I do to win her heart?” thought the Sun, until finally he came up with an idea: “Every day I’ll pass by the Moon’s hut carrying a deer on my shoulders: she will surely be fascinated by my skills as a great hunter!”.

So he took a deerskin and filled it with ash: “It’s much more comfortable like this!” he thought contentedly. And so at every sunset, when the Moon was about to climb up into the sky, the Sun began to pass by in front of her proudly carrying the fake deer on his shoulders.

The days went by and...

About Mezzotint

Mezzotint is an old printmaking technique. The technique is based on tones to define and create image. This technique, developed in the seventeenth century and in some recent years is combined with other techniques to make a new effect.

Here is the short summery of the technique:

A metal plate, usually copper, is first roughened by mezzotint rockers by crossing on top of the copper plate, and produce a rough surface. It should be done in different directions until it is perfectly done. The surface should uniformly textured. For transferring the image artists use some other tools like Scraper and burnisher. These two tools help to create different gray tones of the image. When the burred ground is removed perfectly the white will be shown in the image. between the white part and untouched burred surface artists make gay tones. Once the image is shown, the plate is inked and wiped afterwards. At the last stage the image is transferred to the paper by passing through an etching press.

It is common that the first proof is not the perfect one, and the artist should work on the plate again to adjust the gray tones to get the desired one.

I am going to add some more pictures from different stage of the new prints. The pictures are from the first Sang art project (Emerald).
