Jesùs-Rafael SOTO - Composition for the Olympic games, 1992, Lithograph

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).
Jesús-Rafael Soto : (1923-2005) is a french painter and sculptor, of venezualian origins. He is famous for his mobile works, which characterize Op'Art and Cinetic Art. In 1963, he won the "Lobo" award at the São Paulo Biennale. The year after, he received the second prize of D. Bright at the Venice Biennale. His works can be seen in the biggest museums in the world (MOMA, Tate, Pompidou...). In 1973 he founded "el Museo de Arte Moderno Jesús Soto" in Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela, exhibiting works of his own collection. His name is very much associated to the Galerie Denise René.
