This print by Dimitris Mytaras uses lithography, a process where the artist draws on a stone or metal plate, treats it to repel ink in undrawn areas, and then prints the image. The lithographic process lends itself to capturing layered textures, seen here in the contrast between the solid blue sky and the more complex rendering of the building and crowd. Notice how the medium emphasizes the rough texture of the building, highlighting its monumental yet somewhat deteriorated state. The crowd is rendered with chaotic marks, suggesting movement. The choice of lithography isn't accidental; it democratizes artmaking through relatively accessible production. Here it echoes the themes of social gathering, of perhaps protest, imbuing the work with a sense of accessibility, inviting viewers to engage with themes of public space and collective action. Considering the making of this print allows us to appreciate how Mytaras used process to amplify its social and political resonance. It challenges our understanding of traditional artistic practices, merging both fine art and the imagery of everyday life.
