The foundation of the prints is Gumoil printing, which is a photographic printing process that combines a gum bichromate process with oil printing techniques. It was developed by artist Karl Koenig in the 1990s. The gumoil process is appreciated for its ability to produce images with a narrow tonal range and a distinctive, painterly quality. It allows for significant artistic control and can result in prints that are unique and highly expressive. The process is labor-intensive and requires a good understanding of both the chemistry involved and the aesthetic effects desired. Read more about gumoil printing.
The Process of Adding "Love"
The Gumoil Process... Print a huge negative that mirrors the actual size of the print. Paint a Bichromate mix on the paper. Sandwich them between a full-size glass frame. Expose the image in the sun for about a half hour. Hope it comes out right. Paint the entire image black with artistic ink so that the details are picked up, giving it a deep look of depth. Sqeegee and wash the print. Again, hope it comes out. Dry it slowly so it doesn't tear or crack, making you start over. Whew!
