Under the guidance of Barak Zelig, participants will begin by drawing to create an image, then transfer it to lino and cut the design using carving tools to create a relief print block. Using a mini printing press, create a limited edition of prints. Hand colour your works to complete your original artworks. All materials and equipment will be provided.
Barak Zelig is a surrealist artist working in metamorphosis, using raw materials and found objects to create readymade small sculptures, and large sculptures from steel. Barak is interested in hybrids and the creation of a new being or item made by the amalgamation of different elements. The comments which he makes in his works are political and social and are often characterised by satire. Barak is also a skilled printmaker, designer and an experienced art tutor.
Barak holds a BA in printmaking and graphics investigation (Canberra Institute of Art, Australian National University) and Postgraduate Diploma in design and animation (University of Technology, Sydney). His work can be found in many corporate and private collections and they have been selected for inclusion as a finalist in several sculpture exhibitions including the Yarra Valley Arts, Yerring Station Melbourne, ‘Hidden’ Rookwood Cemetery Sydney, Sculpture on the Edge Bermagui, Sculpture in the Paddock Yass.
