Entwurf 1990

Samuel Buri created this print, entitled 'Entwurf,' using a combination of screen printing techniques and collage. The work has a layered effect, combining vibrant, solid blocks of color with patterned squares. The texture of the print reveals the directness of screen printing, where ink is pushed through a stencil. Look closely, and you'll see areas where the ink is thicker or more translucent. The artist's choice of bold hues and repetitive motifs is reminiscent of textiles. By incorporating a hand-made approach into the printmaking process, Buri blurs the boundaries between high art and craft traditions. There is a playful quality to the work, as if he's celebrating the joy of making and the beauty of simple, everyday patterns. By emphasizing the materials and processes, Buri elevates what might otherwise be considered mundane. This piece encourages us to appreciate the artistry inherent in all forms of making.
