Mixografia

BRIEF HISTORY OF MIXOGRAFíA ®:

In 1968, Luis and Lea Remba began printing and publishing fine art in Mexico City, which led to the development of the Mixografía® process in 1973. The Mixografía® Workshop prints and publishes limited editions on handmade paper using a process that allows for prints in deep relief. More than 90 of the world’s most distinguished artists have challenged the workshop with a diverse array of projects resulting in the publication of more than 700 editions. Our gallery space maintains a programme of exhibitions dedicated to showing this exceptional work.

WHAT IS A MIXOGRAFIA® PRINT?

The Mixografía® technique is a fine art printing process that allows for the production of deep textured prints with very fine surface detail. The artist begins with any solid material or combination of materials on which he or she incises, impresses, carves, collages or builds up a matrix. From the matrix, a sequence of forms are then molded, one from another, resulting in a highly sensitive cast copper printing plate in reverse. The plate is inked using all the colors applicable to that print. Moist paper pulp is then laid onto the surface. Both plate and pulp are forced through the press, simultaneously forming the paper sheet and dimensional character of the plate
