THE WORK
Sookie Brarou is a collage artist based in Brussels, Belgium. An integral aspect of her body of work is first and foremost surrealism. Each piece intends to project the observers in improbable scenes, which look like a postcard from another dimension or a projection in the future. The notions of terrestrial scale, gravity and perspective are questioned through themes such as climate change, the space race, and femininity. Her collages are made out of stock pictures, which are reworked digitally. The creative process of each of them is invariably unique, in the sense that cuts, scales and hues were rethought until their image fragments feel like they were meant to be assembled.

What is silkscreen printing?
Silkscreen printing is a printing technique where ink is transferred onto a surface by using a mesh. A blade is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily along a line of contact. One color is printed at a time, so several screens can be used to produce a multicolored image or design.
As for many digital artists, Sookie has often missed the “manual bond” with her digitally-formatted work. For this reason, she decided to experiment with various ways of translating it onto its physical support and silkscreen printing became her favorite. The prints are prepared using four colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) and manually performed on a high-quality 300g matte finish paper. Each piece is dated, signed and comes with COA (certificate of authenticity). Discover the limited edition available today in the link below.
