Printmaking, Etching on Paper
Size: 9.8 W x 14 H x 0.2 D in

Jan Philip Raath is a fine art printmaker living and working in Cape Town, South Africa. As an artist he plays with the notion of printmaking itself and tries to embody the process within the images and sculptural works he creates. Working mainly in print media he focuses on exploring underlying processes associated with printmaking and the materials and labour involved. This work forms part of a series "Public Monuments" focusing on typological studies of architectural spaces and structures that has an ignored purpose and a solitary existence in an otherwise busy environment. Giving a feeling of repetitive poetic nature, the images themselves are secluded and exaggerated. The idea is perhaps not to highlight people's interaction with the structure, or object, but rather the lack of interaction. The paradox then lies in the interaction with the representation of the structure, which is the complete opposite of the everyday situation of the real structure.

As a passionate nature lover and outdoors person, Jan Philip Raath's work is mostly focused on ecological issues, especially on the overlap between human landscapes and "raw" nature. Often taking on the form of ephemeral research projects into the materiality of art production, his work emphasizes underlying ideas and processes that are regularly over looked or taken for granted. Due to the ever changing nature of his art practice he realizing projects in a wide range of media from sculpture and printmaking, to photography. He started his studies in fine arts at the University of the Free State in 2007. He went on to complete his BA and MFA in Fine Arts at the Michaelis School of Fine Arts in Cape Town, South Africa.
