Description
This is a one-of-a-kind, stencil print Brooklyn Navy Yard's artist and rising star Thomas Witte.
Witte has been making stencil prints since 2007 using subjects culled from his Grandfather's collection of vintage photographs; images captured in a millisecond, often by an absent-minded, amateur eye. The artist then painstakingly hand cuts his drawings with a x-acto knife, containing the transcribed image in one single sheet of A3 paper. This process implies a certain fastidiousness but perhaps it is Witte's subconscious ability, which he describes as, "knowing when to end the line", that enables him to so successfully manipulate his material to convey the smallest shift in a reflection or gradient in a shadow.
