Autumn Wonders is the latest lino print release from Luxembourg-based printmaker and graphic designer Damien Giudice. The 50×40 artwork features a creature in the middle of two oak branches. Damien tells us; “Of course it is a squirrel, but others think they recognise a rabbit. What it is is still up to the viewer”.
The design started out as a drawing on a tablet which he then printed on lime paper. The whole thing was then transferred to the linoleum by hand with a pencil. Damien comments; “I love symmetry and cleanliness, it should not be too complicated. The only complicated part is the carving. What seems so simple takes hours to carve out so finely. Which is for me a very meditating part. Mistakes can happen, but they also happen in nature, so it doesn’t matter if one leaf looks slightly different from the other.”
Autumn Wonders was printed using a hand press onto natural paper to compliment the design. Thus, except for the pre-drawing, Damien works completely analogue.
The printmaker concludes; “The togetherness of human and nature is especially important to me. We are currently living in an unpleasant time, but you should still keep your eyes open for the small wonders we still have left on our beautiful planet.”
