104 pages, 23,4x31cm,“Klischee” print cover, 100 black linocuts inside

One of our favorite Leipzig artists Benjamin Dittrich sent us some of these massive linocut collections published by the ever-fancy Lubok Verlag. And linocuts it is, throughout, real life linocuts in the nicest black you’ll see printed anywhere for a long while. Benjamin works with found imagery from (natural) science books, re-appropriates and re-arranges fragments into strange collages of figurative, abstract and symbolic shapes. Some of them end up as drawings and some more as multi-layered lino-prints, and by multi I mean MULTI! For this book he collected a share of his plates and printed them monochromatic, and the result is a strangely compelling collection of shapes and cryptic information to go back and forth and back again. A product of a talented printmaker and a lovely, tactile, item. Highly recommended.
