Terrarium etching 1

It wasn’t natural for Nick Liefhebber to take part in the experimental etching workshop by Stijn Peeters. He expected to find a dated technique. Completely against his expectations he was grabbed by the infectious explanation of Peeters. Suddenly, there were possibilities to gain a very different tactility in the abstract collage landscapes he often makes. Especially the soft grey tones were an interesting addition to the design language of the designer. The texture of the paper and the attentive look create a different depth to the layered work. Graphically and technically, it became less hard, even less hard than silkscreen or rip-up, techniques that Liefhebber once used to extract his images from the computer. The unevenness, transparency and structure created by the aquatint are soft additions to the techniques Nick Liefhebber usually uses.
