About the Artwork
This original 44x32 cm abstract etching is a rare and profound example of Joseph Kapelyan’s mastery over graphic experimentation and modern printmaking.
A testament to Joseph Kapelyan's resourcefulness and technical adaptability is his extensive work with alternative matrices. While traditional intaglio relies on metal plates, Kapelyan developed his own refined variations of cardboard and linoleum etching. By meticulously cutting, scratching, and texturing these softer surfaces, he adapted the high-pressure etching press to unconventional materials. This pioneering approach allowed him to bypass the rigid boundaries of traditional metal plates. The result is an abstract composition that beautifully preserves the crisp, fine lines of an etching while infusing the final artwork with a distinct, painterly warmth and rich, organic texture completely unique to a cardboard matrix.
