One of the new artists represented by Sinotique is Will Hubscher of PA. Will's work strikes a chord with me in that his work is original and beautiful. His monoprints are reminiscent of watercolors, hand tinted vintage photos, and collage. The technique he uses to create his monoprints is one of his own creation , and all I can tell you is that it can take over 20 hours to create one print, and that it involves an etching press.
Here is Will explaining his work : "As the architect of this new creation, this new life, I add color, and texture, and mood and feeling to fit my own interpretation of the precedent; to create a new, original life of my own from the flotsam found discarded on the edges of society. Respect for the souls in the picture is paramount, as I in no way wish to deter from the life once lived. As I build the new, I also create a story, visually construing bits of Will onto the paper, along with water, ink, and the occasional itinerant cat hair. I collage these snapshots and build and construct and architect until I have reached a new wholly created life, a reincarnation: similar to the original, but certainly not the same. Something never conceived, imagined, or formulated, until I set my hands upon it.
So a life has been rejoined, reborn, reincarnated for the soulful satisfaction and visual impudence of its creator."
Will's work is currently on display at the Sinotique Showroom in Brooklyn, 70 john St. Between Bridge and Jay St., by appt. Will Hubscher's monoprints are priced from $800.00-$1300.00 framed.
