El Mundo - Polymer photogravure print - Edition 2021
- Description
- Provenance
- Info
As I begin to make new work after this past year of not photographing much I was thinking about the weight of the world, known and unknown, and how to embrace it all. I did want my picture to be too heavy and brooding but instead mysterious and honest. When I showed this gravure print to a fellow artist she said " El Mundo" and it felt perfect.
This hand-pulled polymer photogravure print is made with Charbonnel Noir RSR black and warm sepia inks, on Rives BFK paper. I decided on a chine collé with Awagami Kitakata. and an edition of 11 numbered prints and 2 A/P prints. I made this image small (4x5) on a large sheet (11x15) to continue with the concept of the original idea.

About Ray Bidegain
One Photographers Journey
For the last 22 years I have been lucky enough to spend my time working as a fine art photographer, and specifically working as a photographer who photographed using large format negatives and made platinum prints from the camera negatives.
The platinum period
Many of you have collected these platinum prints over the years and some of you have learned platinum printing from me along the way. I love the process and I have loved every minute of this period in my work. Platinum printing is an amazing and beautiful way to make photographs.
The Gravures
For the last five years I have started working on making photogravure prints, polymer plate photogravure prints, to be specific. I worked on it, decided I wanted to make a change and make a commitment to working as a printmaker making photogravure prints. You all know me as a person who likes handmade photography. Handmade objects are at the heart of my photographic journey and printmaking is all of that, and more.
