What is matter painting?
Matter painting is a technique that involves blending thick impasto paints with materials like cement, mud, sand, or shells. The term first emerged in the 1950s to describe the works of Belgian and Dutch painters who explored the physical properties of painting materials and the different ways paint could be manipulated. This approach emphasizes texture and the tactile qualities of the surface, creating a sculptural effect on the canvas.

A C-type print, also known as a chromogenic print, is a photographic print made from a color negative or slide. The print is created on chromogenic paper, which contains three emulsion layers, each sensitized to a different primary color. After exposure, the paper is processed in a series of chemical baths, where each layer reacts to the chemicals to produce the final image. C-type prints are known for their rich color depth and are widely used in fine art and commercial photography.
Décollage is an art technique involving the removal, cutting, or tearing away of parts of an original image. The term comes from the French word meaning to take off or to unstick. Artists use this method to challenge or replace existing values, often symbolically tearing away influences from media or conventional thinking.
