Screen printing is a stencil-based process that involves creating multiples of an image by building it up in layers, with each color in the design printed individually. The image begins as a full-color design created by Sandeep Johal, which is then broken down by our studio into individual color components. Each color component is transferred onto photographic film, which is used to expose light-sensitive fine mesh screens. This creates mesh stencils where ink either passes through onto the paper in the image area or is blocked in the non-image area. Each color is prepared and printed this way, with its own screen, carefully aligned and printed by hand. The result is a multi-layered edition where each color is applied in sequence. In this process, there is no single 'original' artwork. Instead, each print is created from the same set of screens, with every layer carefully printed by hand to ensure consistency across the edition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sandeepjohal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eSandeep Johal Website\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003ePrinted by Val Loewen, Collaborative Printmaker at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.malaspinaprintmakers.com\/\"\u003eMalaspina Printmakers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003ePhoto credit: \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.racheltophamphotography.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRachel Topham Photography\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sandeep Johal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49338153271593,"sku":"","price":700.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/9580\/5993\/files\/GSG_2024_edition_2_e7f2b924-aa08-45eb-99f4-888f0105dfc3.jpg?v=1727818366"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/9580\/5993\/collections\/3a0d2059-612c-d215-2bf6-c1a57a630367.jpg?v=1727816774","url":"https:\/\/gordonsmithgallery.com\/collections\/2024-fall-portfolio.oembed","provider":"Artists for Kids \u0026 Gordon Smith Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
