CAPELI, 2024 Limited edition of 50 (numbered and signed on the front) Size: A3 (29.7 x 42 cm) Paper: Pollen bold 90 grams Risograph printing (3 colors: black, yellow and flat gold). Developed as an evolution of mimeographs, the Risograph duplicator gave rise to the term risography. Its own vibrant colors, in addition to the textures obtained from oily ink absorbed by the paper, which give artistic works a handcrafted appearance, made up of stains, nuances, layers of colors and even the displacements generated by overlays are striking characteristics of risography. The Risograph line of digital duplicators was launched in Japan in the 1980s by Riso Kagaku Corporation and was designed as an alternative for high-speed, medium and large-scale printing. As these machines were designed for monochrome printing, the registration of each color is worked separately, which means that the paper needs to be passed through the duplicator again for each layer of desired color. Overlays can generate new colors, as well as misalignments resulting from paper repositioning, called “registration errors”. These mismatches are often used as part of the process of artistic experimentation, as are the stains generated by the density of ink, which does not dry completely: each ‘copy’ ends up being different from the next. Riso paints, made from soybean oil or rice bran, are non-toxic, and the duplicators produce low amounts of waste, in addition to consuming little energy compared to other methods, which makes the process ecologically sustainable. Riso works based on stencil printing – in English, stencil printing –, a permeagraphic process, since, to reach the paper, the ink passes through the perforated area of a master or stencil (sheet used as a template to create copies).

Brazil
Identity, borders and crossings portrayed through human figures - especially in female representations - are structural points in Luciano Cian's research. An imagery construction that dialogues with his personal experience of origin - and the lack of a sense of belonging. Throughout an almost nomadic childhood, the Brazilian artist experienced different landscapes, peoples and cultures. Most of his family left the triple border between Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia, leaving Mato Grosso do Sul state and heading to the interior of São Paulo. From there, Luciano Cian lived in several Brazilian cities and regions until he settled in Rio de Janeiro. From these multiple experiences, the artist invites us to think about the idea of belonging, mixing signs from Latin American cultures with contemporary graphic elements. His work develops different visualities of the creative force, regardless of a defined border, since all our ancestry at a given point is collective. Luciano Cian's figures talk about the importance of dialogue, the confluence of origins and their customs, with an inclusive look, proposing a form of connection and bridge between the continent's diverse manifestations - bringing influences from African culture: due to the migration of slaves during the long period in which the transatlantic slave market lasted. In drawing, linocut, acrylic or oil on canvas/wood, his characters encompass different ethnic groups, with empowerment and gestural power. The highlighted line of the drawings incorporates a simple color palette, with great contrasts. Visual elements, textures, and patterns that range from indigenous ornaments to modernist elements reinforce the figure. Luciano Cian was born in 1973, in Lorena, São Paulo, Brazil. Currently, he lives and works in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He has worked in partnership with brands such as Ray-Ban (Milan), Northwell Health Hospital (New York), Nescafé (Frankfurt), The Healist (London, New York), Blue Note (São Paulo). Participated in exhibitions at MuBE - Brazilian Sculpture Museum (São Paulo), European Institute of Design (São Paulo), Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage (Rio de Janeiro), Centro Cultural Justiça Federal (Rio de Janeiro), Museu de Imagens do Inconsciente (Rio de Janeiro), Galeria Pretos Novos de Arte Contemporânea (Rio de Janeiro), Galeria Colecionador Contemporâneo (Rio de Janeiro), Museu Nacional dos Correios (Brasília), Galerie Espace L (Geneva, Switzerland), Boxpark (London) between others.
