The printing stages of the double engraving submitted to the collective project dedicated to “La Smorfia Napoletana” curated by Stamperia Ripa 69 thanks to Susanna Doccioli and all the members of the Trastevere printing house. The two matrices, inspired by the numbers 17 ‘a disgrazia and 31 ‘o padrone ‘e casa, bring together numerous figurations, objects, and elements capable of best interpreting the two subjects portrayed. The engravings were inked with Cranfield Colours and printed on Fabriano “Rosaspina” paper. The People of Print event will remain open with the exhibition until January 11th in the Trastevere spaces in Rome. The works of 45 artists encompass the 90 numbers of the Neapolitan Tombola, interpreting the symbolism of the Smorfia with imagination and inventiveness. For this reason, I decided to exploit the gradient and brightness of the color to convey the duality of the mirror image in the two relief prints. The post visually narrates the entire process of design, carving, and printing on paper, as done by many friends with their own artworks, like Andrea Guerra in Urbino. If you’re in Rome during the holidays, go visit the exhibition!
