Italian Born in Treviso …He realises his works with the technique entitled “ Bio- Chromosomal Gum” on huge wood panels, starting from pictures taken by him. In his works, there isn’t a pictorial intervention and the final results are determined exclusively by his technique. Print Technique to the Bio-Chromosomal Gum, the main components of this technique are: Arabic gum,Potassium,Pigment to get a certain colour. The print of this gum is done in the same way of a contact print; to the support it is added a negative and then a UV lamp lightens it. When this operation is done the support is put in a basin of water where the image comes out. This operation can be repeated 15 to 20 times to obtain a perfect image and good contrasts. Brief procedure of the print technique to the Bio- chromosomal Gum The principles used for the BCG come from the last century (1885), and belong to the famous French chemist Alphonse Louis Poiltevin even if Mongo Ponton discovered the property of insolubility of the substance called chromate in 1839. The real process obtained 1856 by the English John Pouncy has never been used till the end of the last century when Alfred Maskell and Robert Demaney called it “Acqua tinta” because of the colour of the left over water. This procedure has been notably used at the end of the nineteen-century (1894- 1900) for the print on paper of pictures. Title: untitled Dimension (cm): 68x112 Technique: BCG on wood Year: 1998
