André Butzer & Josef Zekoff – Single Shots
EXHIBITION VIEW | TEXT | SINGLE SHOTS |
“A monotype is the unique print mark of a still wet painting, having previously been executed on a smooth metal or glass plate. This is done with printing inks. A sheet of paper is subsequently placed on the painted plate, whereupon the print is made in a press or by hand. The resulting image laterally inverts the original painting. Since the printing plate is an intermediary between the artist’s hand and the final print, monotypes are classified as a graphic art.
However—as the name hints at—only one unique print is ever created, as original as it gets.
This game of reversing the motifs is fun and makes you want to delve right into it. It also requires curiosity to see theeffigy instead of the image just painted. A persisting paradox: Not the painted image is the work of art, but the irreproducible print on paper! The two artists met for this game of wits and created amazing monotypes in only one session at Butzer’s Berlin-Wannsee mansion near the river Havel. The initial paintings were done quickly, spontaneously resulting from their mutual kinship and conversations. Immediately afterwards, they were expertly hand-printed by Sarah Bogner on the same paper and in the same format.”
