FRANCISCO SOUTO | HYBRIDS
Inaugural Exhibition – Prints and Drawings Room
Im zweiten Teil der Ausstellung „Hybrids“ von Francisco Souto, sehen wir größere und farbigere Werke im Cinemascope-Format. Diese Werke verdeutlichen noch mehr, die Nähe von Mezzotint zu Foto und Film und lassen den Kontrast zu digitalen Drucktechniken noch besser erkennen als die klassischen Werke der ersten Ausstellung.
The Museum is honored to inaugurate its new room dedicated to Prints and Drawings with the solo exhibit Hybrids by Prof. Francisco Souto (*1973, Merida, Venezuela).Souto, although still a young artist, can righteously be called one of the best Mezzotint specialists in the world. He teaches at the University of Lincoln, Nebraska.
In his Hybrids Francisco Souto combines the extremely elaborate intaglio technique of the mezzotint with other printing techniques including the digital print and even with handmade drawings. This results in images of high aesthetic appeal and tremendous technical interest.
