View in a Room

Portolio of 6 prints - Aquatint and Woodcut - 2 plates of 30 x 40 cm. each Printed on Zerkall-Butten, 300 gr. of 30 x 40 cm.

Chamber Works by Alison Wilding is a portfolio of six limited edition prints created in 2010, combining aquatint and woodcut techniques. Each print, measuring 30 x 40 cm, is rendered on Zerkall-Butten paper, highlighting Wilding's affinity for organic shapes and textured surfaces. The compositions feature abstract forms in varying colors and patterns—some with sharp, contrasting stripes, others with fluid shapes resembling natural or geological formations. The diversity in each print's design invites a tactile and visual exploration, as Wilding’s work often contemplates the relationship between solidity and translucency, form and void. Limited to an edition of 24, this series showcases Wilding’s unique blend of structure and spontaneity, evoking a sense of space and depth within each chamber.

Ludwig Wilding (Germany, 1927–2010) was a pivotal figure in Op and Kinetic art. His three-dimensional works, often in black and white, created dynamic optical illusions that challenged visual perception. Exhibiting internationally, Wilding's art continues to influence contemporary explorations of movement and space.

Woodcut

WoodcutWoodcut is a printing technique where an image is carved into the surface of a woodblock using gouges, with the remaining flat surface holding the ink for printing. The areas cut away by the artist do not carry ink, while the uncut areas do, producing the desired print. The carving follows the wood's grain, unlike wood engraving, where the block is cut across the end-grain. Ink is applied to the surface with a roller, ensuring only the flat, uncarved areas receive ink, leaving the recessed, non-printing areas clean.

Different performances have different kinds of outcomes. I would say live bodies sometimes activate a space.

Alison Wilding is a twentieth century English sculptor. She studied at Nottingham College of Art, the Ravensbourne College of Art and Design and finally at the Royal College of Art, where she left in 1973. Although she began her career specializing in multimedia artworks, she is perhaps best known for her abstract sculptures which she used a large array of materials to create. She has worked with wood, bronze, stone, wax, silk, steel and a whole host of other materials. One of her best known pieces of work is called Stormy Weather and beeswax, oil and pigment rubbed into steel. She was inventive and groundbreaking in her methodologies. She made one significant piece of public artwork which is located on the River Wear in Sunderland. The piece is calledAmbit and consists of a number of steel tubes which float on the river and are lit at night. Alison Wilding was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1988 and 1992.

What is abstract art?

Abstract art uses form, shape, line, and color to create a visual experience without attempting to represent external reality. The composition exists independently of the world's visual references, focusing on expressing ideas and emotions through non-representational means.
