Behind the plates;
Dadara at Studio 46. 
For ‘Not everything is black and white’ exhibition.
Dadara created two etchings at Studio 46 @studio46barcelona, the legendary engraving workshop founded by master printmaker Joan Barbarà in Barcelona in 1972. 
Barbarà was known as the master behind the masters. Picasso, Miró, Beuys Dalí or Tàpies are just a few names of the master artists who came to his presses. Today, his son Virgili and grandson Om keep the workshop alive with the original equipment and assisted Dadara to put on the plate all his world in the traditional way, same paper, same plates, same press. 
Dadara followed the classic etching process, step by step. The copper plate is coated with a protective ground, and the drawing is scratched into it with a needle. The plate is then bathed in acid, which bites only the exposed lines. 
Finally it is inked, wiped by hand and run through the press. It is slow work that leaves no room for shortcuts, and it is all about black and white. 
Every print carries a piece of the workshop’s history.
