Celadon Bamboo Diptych (Two 18 x 24" monotypes on paper)
$450.00. Unframed. Ships in a box.
Price is for BOTH 18 x 24” prints which ship together in one box. Their surface area is 24 x 36” unframed but once matted and framed, they’ll span 48” or more horizontally.
Free UPS ground shipping in the United States.
Although these two monoprints look like a block prints or screenprints, they’re actually a form of 19th century photography called cyanotypes.
“Cyan” means blue in Greek. However, I dramatically altered the normal ratios of the two chemicals which comprise the photo emulsion, yielding not the traditional dark blue and white but a pale gray-green and white. This is a very soft subtle pastel hue like the blue-gray-green celadon glaze often used on Japanese pottery. The white leaves are a pale cream.
This was not made with ink and a printing press. All my botanical cyanotypes are unique made without a camera or photo negative, made with fresh cut plants which wilted soon afterwards. There is no block or metal plate which can be inked and re-used.
This pale green bamboo monotype is ever so slightly darker than the two in the diptych sold together of the same name "Celadon Bamboo Diptych" but is the same size.
Unframed. On 100% cotton watercolor paper. Signed by the artist on the back.
