Pop pointillism augments an experimental silkscreen print by Paul Insect.
Masks are a core motif for Paul – a visual embodiment of his interest in identities hidden and revealed. In Something forbidden (Gold) a seamless shape laced with fluorescent pigment disguises an inscrutable face.
Printmakers at Make-Ready in London worked closely with Paul to create the print and expand the repertoire of processes and materials found in his editions to date. The result is an intricate silkscreen print finished with an array of raised dots created using 37 layers of UV-cured ink and high gloss varnish. The metallic sections of the artwork are printed using a bespoke mixture of gold powders suspended in metallic varnish to create a dynamic, twinkling surface.
