Description
Linocut 56,5x40cm 2004 (Printed out of two matrixes).

Inspired by the poem "The Drunken Boat" by Arthur Rimbaud, Józef Gielniak's graphic art and two comic books created by Grzegorz Rosiński and
Régis Loisel.

This work was being created for several months. First, I prepared the initial sketches and then based on them I created ink drawing on paper that I copied. The previously prepared linoleum was soaked in solvent. Photocopy stuck to the surface of the matrix gave an irregular reflection and thus created additional graphic effects. For cutting linocut I used the thinnest chisels and needles from a syringe that cut precisely and deeply. Thanks to this, I was able to achieve a satisfying detail.

"Glaciers, suns of silver, waves of pearl, skies of red-hot coals!
Hideous wrecks at the bottom of brown gulfs
Where the giant snakes devoured by vermin
Fall from the twisted trees with black odours!"
