Transcending Pigment from Paint to Canvas, from Canvas to Paint is an edition of 40 unique, mixed-media mono prints in which Saban continues to test the limits of printmaking. Each print is a work without paper. Similar to Saban's previous collaboration with The Lapis Press, this edition uses layered, acrylic paint as a substitute for paper, but takes the process one step further by printing on paint as well as Belgian linen.

"My work is more about asking questions than finding answers." - Analia Saban
2020 Zoom conversation between Analia Saban and Dr. Andrew PerchukThroughout history, pigment was added to mediums such as oil, egg or water to create paint for its application on canvas. In this series, pigment is printed on top of layered white acrylic paint, transforming what it means to add color to paint. Transcending Pigment includes four color compositions (Color #1, Color #2, Color #3, Black & White). The schemes are inspired by the printing process itself and refer to the ‘color targets’ that are used to test and calibrate ink and printer functionality. These targets were developed in the 1970s as color printing became more accessible, and the process needed to be uniform. As printing evolved the color targets became more sophisticated and are now used to determine the accuracy and calibration of pigment and ink. In Transcending Pigment, Saban synthesizes the history of painting with the technological advances in printing.

A Work Without Paper
Analia Saban's work blurs the distinctions between mediums, employing various elements of painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, and architecture in a way that deconstructs and revisualizes the very process of art-making. In this series, layered acrylic paint is used as a substitute for paper. The paint sheet is then fed through the printer where pigment is directly applied, creating a work without paper. -
