Gelatin prints

The subject of my creation is a gelatin print I created with colored as well as 3 other gelatin prints I created. The work was made following the gelatin print process, using ink, a gelatin piece and a roller. I chose to add color to my print because it is a simple, but interesting way to make it look like something. I used color and contrast in this art. I added color to the white areas, creating contrast.

Composition rules and techniques in my art are, informal balance with the color in different areas and selective focus because the color makes certain parts stand out more. In the beginning of making the prints I added a lot of objects however it was hard to see just a few stand out so I changed it to less.

The meaning behind this artwork is there can always be color found in a dark space, all you have to is create it. Like how there can always be positivity found in a negative space, you sometimes just need to create it. This relates to my life because I enjoy being positive and spreading positivity especially during negative times. If I could revise this art I would add more in the background to make it more interesting.
