Tai-Shan Schierenberg Linocut - Untitled.
Tai-Shan Schierenberg - Linoprint (untitled) 418 x 440
Born in 1962 in England Tai-Shan Schiereberg lives and works in London. For the last 20 years Schierenberg has been known for his painting of portraits. He has painted other things e.g. landscapes but it is the human figure that is his principal preoccupation.
This Linoprint has been based upon a previous painting that Schierenberg painted titled Seated Nude 2000, Oil on Canvas, 30.5 x 30.5cm. He did a similar thing with some of his other paintings.
I think the muscle definition; delicacy of e.g. the finger bones and nails have been impressively portrayed in this print. It is an excellent example of the difficulty in producing images using this technique and its emphasis on the direction of cut rather than tone in order to create this image. I would like to practice this technique and incorporate it into my work.
