FLORA bird Drawing

"FLORA bird", Philipp Artus, 2016 Platinum/Palladium Light Drawing on Hahnemühle Platinum Rag Paper, 300 gr. 45x35cm, Single Edition Signed, numbered and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity "FLORA bird" is an abstract and clear shape consisting of multiple lines which form a three dimensional pattern. The computational precision of the form is counter-balanced by its playful and birdy character. "FLORA bird" is a trace of abstract motion frozen in time. The shape is generated by the FLORA algorithm, which is based on my studies of animation and locomotion. To create this image I developed a unique printing method that combines analogue photography and a laser projector. The laser "draws" with light directly onto the sensitized surface of the paper, which results in extremly thin and delicate lines. In order to sensitize the paper I use the chemicals of platinum/palladium printing – an alternative photographic process based on noble metals that react to ultraviolet light. This process offers an exceptionally large tonal range, is very permanent and results in a non-reflective surface that looks similar to a charcoal drawing.
