Of course my live-painting yesterday at my 'Not Everything is Black and White' show at @rootsaudiophilecafe curated by @fousiongallery  also had to be in black and white...

Finished just in time before the rain, lighting, and thunder yesterday evening! 🤟🏽To me it feels like some ancient hierogliph which was discovered in a pyramid proving that we had very advanced societies long time ago. What do you see?

This live-painting was the end of a Magical Journey in Barcelona which started with my residency at @studio46barcelona two and half weeks ago ✨️ Next stop : back to my studio in Amsterdam 🔥

If you are interested to see the catalogue of the show, please send an email to hola@fousiongallery.com Show is still on view till the 25th of November

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. 
On view at the solo show Not everything is black and white curated by @fousiongallery displayed at Roots C/ Badajoz 115, Barcelona
Thursday 15 October.
