Summary

The exhibition Tamayo: Mixografías brings together all of the works produced after 1978, in a technique that the artist himself developed with the help of the engineer Luis Remba, at the Taller de Gráfica Mexicana in the early 1970s. While these forty-six examples capture many elements of Tamayo's unique visual iconography, they also display volumes and textures in a completely unprecedented way, over a handcrafted paper capable of absorbing ink to achieve intense colors, while moving away from the linear traits of traditional 20th-century printmaking. In addition to bearing witness to the Oaxacan master's tireless experimental spirit, this group of works adds to his sensitivity and expression of identity. Mixografía is a printing technique made with a master plate. A variety of materials are applied to this support as collage, over which the artist adheres, rips or scribes to achieve a high relief. From this master plate, molds are created, which in turn are used to obtain a copper plate that collects every detail of the negative plate. The plate is then inked and transferred to a press that prints on handmade paper pulpa mixture of cotton fibers, water and sizing. The result is a print on paper with volume, showing the reliefs, textures and colors of the plate.
