Antonio SEGUI : La révolte, 1970 - Original hand signed 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).
Antonio Segui : Born in 1934, in Córdoba Antonio Segui is an argentinian painter. He arrived in France in 1951 to study painting and sculpture. In 1952, he moved to spain to study. In 1957, he realized his first solo exhibition in Argentine. In 1958, he made a long trip to south and central America, before settling in Mexico, where he studied etching techniques. In 1961, he went back to work in Argentina, before settling definitively in Paris in 1963. He now lives in Arcueil in Émile Raspail's previous property. At the beginning of his career, influenced by artists like George Grosz or Otto Dix, he practiced an expressionist figuration with a touch of irony but step by step, his figuration advanced toward absurd.
