Woodcut and Watercolor
100 x 150 cm
The horizontal work Ritual 15 is part of an unfinished series of colored woodcuts inspired by the Japanese Moku Hanga technique. In this work, the actual printing plate becomes an independent image carrier, painted with black printing ink and vibrant watercolors in blue, red, and yellow. The colors intensify the separation between a multicolored foreground, seemingly depicting a ritual, and a primarily blue background reminiscent of gently rolling hills. Upon closer inspection, the ecstatic forms and colors gradually blur, altering the image's meaning and allowing for radically new interpretations.
