Alpha Series, Redrum Print

Etching ink on Fine Art Velin BFK Rives. (Arches paper mill). Printmaking, relief process. Original signed small limited edition by the artist. Art with a story: Redrum. A tribute to Stanley Kubrick movie with Jack Nicholson, The Shining. The key to The Shining’s terror is Kubrick’s full embrace of “the uncanny” as a psychological effect, essentially the eerie feeling that something is both familiar and strange at the same time doubling: déjà vu, mirrors. The Shining is filled with these elements. Danny writes “redrum” on the outside of the bathroom door, and begins to repeatedly call “redrum”, alarming Wendy. When Wendy sees the word reversed in the bedroom mirror, the word is revealed to be “murder”, as jack begins hacking through the main door with a firefighter’s axe. Break the code! Ultrapulp Alpha series, an original limited edition printmaking on fine art paper, appropriates texts from sources such as corporate business, history, or through pop culture expressive language. It uses twist or unexpected intervals between words and letters to fracture meaning. Break the code, here the words are stacked up as black lettering, disrupting our ability to read them as a fluid sentence. Hand typesetting, printmaking. The artistic process of making the print forms, selecting and tearing the paper, inking the matrix, hand printing each individual piece, drying and signing each, is a very personal and tactile experience. When it comes to paper, the embossed impressions made in the paper by 540 pt letters blocks make a typical and unique relief.
