BURNING IN CARBORUNDUM OR GOETZ METHOD

 

HISTORY

Born to a French-American family in 1909 the Goetz painter, to overcome the difficulties of engraving, began looking for a technique that does not use water.

He developed in 1967, after 10 years of effort, carborundum etching.

 

DEFINITION AND PRINCIPLE

Carborundum (silicon carbide) is a combined emanation of silicon and carbon, which is crystalline in nature and is similar to coal.

It is in the form of more or less fine-grained and has the distinction of strongly harden the materials with which it is mixed.

The recorder deposited on the metal or other support (plexiglass, ...) a paste of plastic resin (or other) and carborundum grains. Once dried, this very hard material has a relief. It is therefore not to incise a plate. The panel is used here only as a support for the added material, which is modeled asperities recessed and raised. This material has the advantage of retaining the ink with a wide variety of shades and structures.

From thereon, the printing process is identical to that of intaglio with the exception:

- The ink can be carried out both on the reliefs in the hollow,

- The shape given to the "matrix" smashes the paper and prints it in the press effect (up to 17 tons of pressure) as well as its negative colors applied by hand,

- The paper in thicker tank (600 gr) and humidified beforehand to soften it, is

 

APPLICATION

The Goetz process used by painters is growing worldwide.

Variations of application and its technical possibilities are almost endless. Each artist reinvents and adapts the Goetz process open to the most diverse expressions.

Miro, Clave, Papart, Coignard, Hélénon, Brisson, including Cottavoz have applied or are still working with it always had innovation process.

Naturally it is possible to combine the carborundum etching with all other printing techniques.

Biography of GUIBAL Henri:

Born October 30, 1947 in Aix-en-Provence.

1965/1968 Studies at the School of Fine Arts of Aix, Vincent Bioulès workshop.

1983-2010 teaches painting at the top of Clermont Métropole art school.

Lives and works in Landes, in the Gard.

"Actually my approach is rooted in a world of smells, invisible songs, those of birds, wind, sea, women's murmurs.

It is suspended in an intimate landscape as one that is in front of my house this multitude of discrete fragments that tell me so many things ... so many secret things, unexpected, silent. Often the characters spend there, marvel, wonder, listen.

I do not represent. I let go that foster world walk in my blood, this assembly of flashes that make up my life, and that will come in turn articulate this strange and complex area which is the canvas or paper.

I never thought that painting was the representation of some reality. My Masters have always blown me in the palm of my hands. So I am working to slow this painting, repeating gestures long dates, alone, already constitute the brilliance of my canvas, this well enough sparkle yet but will sense and discretion, when the paint soon forget habits when it has filtered and digested heavy and unnecessary questions.

Painting without fixed ideas.

Being receptive to surprise. I never added. Painting is a subtraction story ... remove is not removed. "Put just enough", this is my stress, I who painted transparency, layer upon layer so that surprises are my astonishment and pleasure.

My paintings are "notes" as so aptly Pablo, notes that query and excite unique moments. "
