Description:
San Juan Capistrano, California:: Inkswine Press,, 2021.. Edition of 6. 29 aquatint etchings, woodcuts, chine collé, plus letterpress and screen printing. 15 x 11.5 inches, (38 x 29.25 cm) on 250 gm deckle edge rag paper, quarter case binding. Signed and numbered. Dirk Hagner: "The Lepidoptera series of 11 original prints roots in eastern and western sensibilities, and mythological notions of male-female attraction. It is realized by using gestural spontaneity and the graphic precision of printmaking. The project started with drawings for the woodcuts of the female figure, celebrated in art since the renaissance, and ink brush paintings for the making of aquatint lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) imagery. Asemic writing, printed from relief etchings, provide rhythmic compositional counterpoints. The addition of wood type letterpress outside the chine collé image area expands the visual to the entire page while the rich flat black screen-printed strips at its boundaries… Read More

Description:
[Stockholm, Wisconsin & Saint Paul, Minnesota]: Midnight Paper Sales, 2021. Edition limited to "100 possible copies" (in fact, only 88 were made, each numbered and signed by Schanilec), oblong 4to, being a series of 7 unbound oblong, frenchfold bifolia, each 9" x 12", 2 of them folding color wood engravings (each 18" x 24"), 1 with a tipped-in printed leaf within; another full-page color wood engraving, and wood engraved initials, printed in red, blue, black and orange throughout, the whole in a custom folding black chitsu case by Studio Alcyon, lined with red cloth and incorporating inside the back cover an enclosed redux title leaf. The text and illustrations are a poignant and pointed menagerie of Schanilec's poetry, political satire, historiography, the tragic death of George Floyd and millions more of Covid-19. Special appearances by Amanda Gorman, John B. McLemore, and the U.S. Constitution. Surely, even at this early date, a masterwork emanating from the reign of Donald Trump and the global pandemic.
