Arne Aullas from Avignon exhibits his prints at the “Soupe aux Livres” until May 31st. Daughter of an engraver, she happily carries since her early childhood the heritage of the artisanal and artistic techniques of engraving. A graduate of the National School of Fine Arts in Nancy, the Institute of Oriental Languages and Concordia University in Montreal, she has stayed several times in the Canadian Arctic in connection with Inuit artists.
She engraves the landscapes of these large spaces in her drawings. A teacher at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Carcassonne, she knows how to share her passions and talks about the techniques of printmaking like no one else: “The technique has three main families. Intaglio, a real work of goldsmith, consists of engraving hollow a die in metal, plastic or engraved cardboard, we spread the ink in the hollows, and after wetting the paper, we exert a strong pressure. cuts lino or wood, this is the technique used for the creation of Japanese prints. Finally there remains the solid color, the stencil, the screen printing with a silk screen, the lithography from a drawing on a limestone stone, alugraphy… I like engraving as much as printing, creating artists’ books, unique books. I set up my studio in Laguépie almost twenty years ago. I regularly offer engraving and printing workshops, We have created in Saint-Antonin the first artist’s book fair in France!”.
She opens her workshop in Laguépie on May 27 and 28
As part of the national printmaking festival, Arne Aullas d’Avignon will offer on May 27 and 28 an exhibition and a demonstration of intaglio printing in his workshop.
