Perhaps in the everything-digital era in which we live, we’re predisposed to finding the most minimal of elements…striking. Artist Teresa Esgaio has completely reinvigorated her hand-drawn sketches by manually applying a single gold accent to each digital reproduction, limited to 100 copies of each. Dubbing them “Au” prints (after the periodic table notation for “gold”), each is digitally printed on 220gsm Fabriano Rosaspina paper.
The effect is electrifying, particularly when you compare the gold-accented digital prints to the hand-drawn originals (see below) – the difference between night and day.
