Richard Bosman painted a preparatory study that served as the principle image for this series of eighteen monoprints titled Porthole 1 through Porthole 18. The study was digitally captured after which the artist digitally manipulated the captured image resulting in 6 different color variations of the preparatory study. Three archival pigment prints were then made from each of the six variations. The artist then drew and painted a unique narrative (predominately in the window of the porthole) on each of the 18 archival pigment prints. This is a rare series of unique works and Richard Bosman's first monoprints combining archival pigment printing, drawing and painting.
Each monoprint in this unique series is signed by the artist in pencil and includes print documentation also signed by the artist. The series is printed on premium Entrada Rag Natural 290, 100% cotton, archival paper.
Porthole 15, 2014, monoprint/uniquely hand painted, sheet: 23.5” x 23.5”, $3000.
