About the artwork
After more than 25 years of drawings and paintings, Popay is doing his first ever traditional lithograph : " Diego".
Koméla is extremely proud to join forces with one of its favorite artists for this original edition, realised and printed in the Idem lithographic studio.
Very attached to the line and the subtlety of details, Popay managed to find in these hand-crafted techniques a way to fully express himself and to remain true to his drawing work, through various tools for sketching, painting and engraving.
Over several days, with a great diligence and some experimentation, Popay covered the stone with many successive layers of lithographic ink and crayons. Once the volume defined, hours of scratching and engraving helped to bring light and to play with contrasts. This back and forth, adding and removing material has been then repeated a fiery way.
As with preceding editions of Koméla, this is not the reproduction of an existing work but a previously unseen creation of Popay.
The choice of a single medium, the stone, enables to focus and enhance the design and the delicacy of the work and its details. This precision in the printing comes from the fact that the paper is directly pressed on the stone. There is no other intermediate than this matrix between the hand of the artist and the result on paper. By doing this way, the work was realised respecting the historical process and the tradition associated to lithography.
Two colors printed in one run give vibration and relief to the final print. The random shading potentially generates lithographs all different from one another.
This is an edition of 50 that will delight Popay's followers, connoisseurs of drawing and lithography.
