RERO "mr, 2018" - Signed silkscreen

Screen print : Screen printing, also known as silkscreen, serigraphy, and serigraph printing - from latin "Sericum (silk) and greek "grapheion" (writing) - is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil to receive a desired image. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-edged image into a substrate. It is possible to use different meshes, for different colors, and create multi-colored works. In the field of art, it is important to know how many prints have been made. The total number of prints is usually written on the print (e.g 20/200).
Rero : Rero was born in 1983. Rero questions art and its codes as well as the notions of image and intellectual property through an acronym that appears regularly in his works : WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). His research about the "denial of the image" is best defined as provocative and self-deprecating. Strongly influenced by philosophy and sociology, he questions the consumer society and the issue of obsolescence, without judging, but giving the viewers the tools to make their own judgements. The enigmatic corssed out messages are his signature.
