Digital Prints Gallery

A selection of Mark Graver’s digital prints made from 2015 on-wards.  The works here are all conceived as digital prints, made with a computer and printed in small editions on professional archival inkjet printers.

The works usually start out as a series of photographs which are manipulated using computer software.  They are usually made in layers in much the same way as multi-plate etchings are.

I see strong links technically and conceptually between traditional printmaking, collage and digital printmaking that also connects the process to video (film) and sound (music).  They are all collage techniques in a way, with the different elements layered from back to front or in linear seriality.

Most of the works form parts of on-going series that relate to particular themes, concepts and  ideas.  A more detailed account and background information on specific bodies of work can be found here
