Description
In Yoshinaga’s screen prints, the lines used, combined with pale colours, form images. These invite us to use our imagination when observing these floral motives. Yoshinaga uses the silkscreen printing technique. It is a stencil-based printing process in which ink is forced through a fine screen onto the paper beneath. This technique generally results in a strongly defined colours and outlines. However, with Yoshinaga’s work, the transparent layers used result in a softer feeling, inviting the viewer to observe these images from up close. The different textures on the paper are a typical feature of silk screen prints.
