Teknikk og motiv - Stephen Lawlor

Stephen Lawlor begynte å arbeide med grafikk tidlig på 1980-tallet. På den tiden baserte han verkene sine i stor grad på vignetter fra de gamle mesterverkene fra kunsthistorien. Dette førte til at hans konsentrasjon lå først og fremst på en mestring av teknikk fremfor utforming av motiv. Han sier selv at grafikk er 20% kunst og 80% teknikk.
Han bearbeider metallplaten  med syre på samme måte som de store malerkunstnerne bearbeidet lerretene sine med olje eller akvareller. Hans ferdigstilte motiver har derfor et malerisk preg over seg, en unik teknikk som Lawlor selv har utviklet. Resultatet er fargesterke, formabstrakte komposisjoner av kjente motivverdener som landskap eller menneskeskikkelser.

"My work is an ongoing engagement with European painting from 1400 to 1800. I appropriate elements from carefully selected paintings and juxtapose them through loose mark making with needle, acid and brush. Between landscape and the human form, abstraction and figuration my prints explore something in our collective memory of images that can be familiar or obscure, ghost-remnants of icons that stretch backward in time. I see them as small windows onto a hazy subconscious." - Stephen Lawlor
