Printmakers' Square
The treatment of the matrix is at the core of the creative process: it is here where the printmaker expresses their sensitivity, selects the most suitable technique, and shapes the future image. Empreinte is a collective of printmakers – engravers passionate about traditional printing techniques, practiced for centuries. No computers or printers are used at the workshop: only inks, varnishes, the scratching of needles on metal, the creaking of the press, and their fascination for classic printing techniques in a contemporary context animate their work. At the heart of the creative process lies the matrix: be it copper, wood, or lino, it carries the grooves and surfaces that make up the image. Techniques utilized include drypoint, etching, aquatint, mezzotint, or xylography – a mysterious name for each method! Through this exhibition presented at the foyer and the activities organized on the square in front of the CAPE, Printmakers' Square invites the public to discover the richness and diversity of expression in printmaking.
