Originally created as a charcoal drawing, this work by Qian Cheng first appeared in Found You Magazine, Issue 4.
The print edition offers an opportunity to encounter the drawing outside the context of the publication, giving its intricate details, tonal subtleties and physical presence a space of their own.
Developed in close collaboration with Qian, particular attention has been given to the reproduction of the original drawing and the selection of materials.
-
The work is reproduced as an archival pigment print using an Epson SureColor P9570 professional large-format printer and Epson UltraChrome PRO12 12-colour pigment ink system.
Each impression is printed on Canson Infinity ARCHES BFK Rives White, 310gsm, a premium mould-made paper produced in France.
Made from 100% cotton, the paper has a soft, naturally textured surface and a matte finish. Its natural white tone, acid-free composition and absence of optical brighteners make it particularly well suited to fine-art printing.
The combination of archival pigment inks and cotton rag paper has been selected to preserve the drawing's fine detail, tonal gradations and delicate charcoal marks.
