Forum > Zhao Tianqi - born 1968

Silkscreen Prints by Zhao Tianqi
The artist works in silkscreen technique.
Some of her abstract prints are so-called single prints. With this technique, the complete design is applied on a stone or glass plate using either watery or oil colors. Then a paper is laid over the design and pressed firmly against the plate. And that is it. Thus only one copy of a design can be created.
