Analia Saban is Broken

Saban’s dynamic and compelling investigation of materials tests the limits of painting, sculpture, and printmaking in new and enterprising ways. In the summer of 2015, Saban approached her collaboration with the Gemini G.E.L. workshop by exploring a broad range of the workshop’s presses and printmaking techniques. As a result, one body of work is a series of five large, colorful etchings in which she takes ordinary objects as her inspiration, deconstructing and examining their various internal parts. Another body of work digs into the process of printmaking by challenging the physical properties of ink on paper, exploring the line between the handmade and the machine-made. And a third is an intimate monotype, deceptively simple in its approach.
