Printing: Final piece

This is my printing project final piece. After lots of research into different types of printing I decided that intaglio is the best suited print method for me. I also researched lots of artists and I personally like Andy Warhol and Bill Bell. I like Andy Warhol because of the bright and vibrant colours used in his work. I liked Bill Bell as he did a lot of Japanese style work, which is very intricate, however he used more colour to liven up his work. To get this final piece I firstly had to do 6 intaglio prints. to do this I first carved an image into a plate. one this was done I used many different coloured inks to produce a lot of pieces. I then double printed the work (so I printed over the work again) to make is look more lively and it added more detail. I then choose my 6 most successful pieces that I would show. After the process of doing this I had to work out how to present my work. I added coloured tissue paper and my 6 pieces on a white background to get a Matisse style of work. Of course this really fitted in well with my project as we looked at Matisse in the Tate art gallery. Overall I believe this piece is successful as I have used the influence of artists and former work to create a collage of my best intaglio pieces.
