Arne Bendik Sjur
1996 Drypoint Edition of 20
4x5 inches
Norwegian artist Arne Bendik Sjur's work is about people and relationships. Sjur creates his evolving series by working on a single plate, printing an edition, then reworking the existing plate through multiple states. This continues until the series is complete. By obscuring and adding elements, the artist is able to portray the passage of time, transformations, and metamorphoses - suggesting the transient nature of reality. The small scale of each work and the meticulous rendering draws in the viewer and captures the imagination. The use of line in the sleeping childs' face is amazing. The lines created give the face a relaxed and soft look/ It is minimally shaded but still gives the impression if a real face.
