‘Mono’ – A limited edition silkscreen print on paper with diamond dust, embossing and gloss glaze by British artist Joe Webb. ‘Mono’ can be purchased individually or as a set of four (including ‘Absent Minded’, ‘Antares & Love IV’, ‘Daydream’, and ‘Mono’). Printed at Coriander Studio, published by CCA Galleries.
In producing silkscreen prints with CCA Galleries and Coriander, Webb was able to stay true to the collaged, hand-made approach by cutting and pasting the prints, and also incorporating gold and silver leaf, mirrored papers, diamond dust and glazes. His intention was to “reinvent the original works as high quality, multi-layered silkscreened collages; refining and embellishing the ideas behind the pieces during the process”. Each collage explores ideas of loss, romance, and nostalgia by removing the male protagonist from view; in ‘Mono’, only the male’s beady eye is visible, peering uneasily at his female counterpart through his monocle.
