Record Attempt
Screen-print with the most colours (x 77) pulled by hand over an edition of 150 artworks, resulting in nearly 12,000 hand pulls required to be millimeter accurate in every pull.
Details
_The process is highly precise and dexterous, fundamentally requiring the printmaker to be highly accurate when aligning the paper or in the finished print the individual colours will not come together as a whole and the artwork will not be accurately realised, thus the print is ruined.
_Before each new screen is pulled, the paint from the previous stencils must be dry, but the paint must not be allowed to dry on the stencil/screen because it could again damage it.
_We are proposing a minimum of 77 colour individual hand pulled screen process in an edition of 150 artworks.
- This record attempt requires a printer to repeat a dexterous aligning process and pull the minimum of 77 screens by hand an epic 11,550 times.
_It is taking 6 weeks to attempt the world record
_The process has been monitored by 2 professional adjudicators and is supported by their signed statements. These will be available for viewing upon request.
EINE background.
EINE's work can be seen all over East London and the UK (and other cities across the world) on shop shutters and across buildings. This print is based on the alphabet he developed by painting derelict shop shutters, hence the parallel horizontal thin lines on the top of each letter developed from the grooves in roller shutters. In addition he is a long time collaborator of the artist Banksy, EINE hand screen-printed the majority of Banksy's highly sought after print work. more info here: http://www.nellyduff.com/index.php?/art/artists/eine
