Dirkx’s work often involves a combination and intertwining of texts and drawings, which come together in notebooks and cigar boxes transformed into installations or ‘wall works’. His pieces are characterized by their abstract nature and the innovative use of everyday objects to create complex, layered art.
This specific artwork is a lithograph created by Piet Dirkx. Lithography is a printmaking technique that involves creating images on a flat surface, typically stone or metal, using a greasy substance. The surface is then treated to retain the image while repelling ink in non-image areas.
