15 YEARS OF PRINTMAKING - FREE 'MATRIX 3' PRINT OFFER
By Damon Roberts
To mark my 15th year of being a printmaker i've created two new limited edition abstract prints. Two titles are available - 'Matrix 3' and 'Reduction WRM'. Both are signed and numbered editions of 100 pieces. Size A3 (297x420mm) on heavy duty 350gsm silk stock.. Full colour high definition Giclée print process with matt lamination finish.
I'm giving away the 'Matrix 3' print edition for FREE (+P&P). The first 50 of the 'Reduction WRM' prints are available for £10 each. I've also pulled together a small selection of silkscreen editions from my archive that i'm offering up at a special discount price if ordered at the same as either of the two new absract editions.

These are incredibly detailed works. The linear abstract was generated from digital harmonograph simulator. Harmonograph patterns often feature on bank notes as a security measure as they are difficult to reproduce.
Two variations in this series were produced. One in black with a light gray surface print that almost looked like an x-ray. The inverted version was printed directly onto a flood of varnish on a dutch grayboard substrate.
The inks on this lighter inverted version were a mixture of metalic silver and dark gray acrylics which when dried took on the appearance of graphite pencil. It had a slight shimmer effect when direct light hit the surface.
Both versions are now sold out.
