Diane Gamboa
Lost and Found, 1990
Serigraph, Edition 18 of 49
30 x 34 in.

The image/artwork for this print was specifically designed for the Atelier 15 program. The original drawing was created directly onto the acetate with an inked brush and technical pen. Through a series of overlapping and underlapping the positive/acetate for each color, I continued to build texture and detail. The Little Gold Man himself is the focal point of the other figures in the piece, but at the same time is only one of the many figures involved in this print. As in all other prints I have created through the Atelier program.
