THE ENGRAVING

Lorenzo Zangheri learnt about engraving at the beginning of 2019. At a multidisciplinary “Radura” group meeting, he discovers this technique is perfectly suitable for the style and themes he deals with.
Among all the techniques, Lorenzo prefers etching. He usually chooses to work on copper plates and, more rarely, zinc plates.

In the etching technique process, Lorenzo shorty learns how to run autonomously the preparation and plate production phases as well as the print phase; he pays particular attention to plate painting and engraving, which is why he builds a specific work tool. He pays similar attention to the acid etching phase: Lorenzo may dip plates in acid even 10 times, respecting each one’s engraving timespan.

The paper he uses to print on is 220 g Rosaspina cardboard.
