  Kalsang Shoba - The Waiting Game

  Woodcut print

  51 X 38 CM

  2023

  "The Waiting Game" seeks to encapsulate the serene anticipation embedded in the fleeting moments of twilight. The title captures the essence of this visual narrative—a pause in time where the boundary between expectation and tranquility converges. It invites viewers to partake in the contemplative experience, pondering the interplay of human presence against the vast expanse of nature’s beauty.

  About the Artist:

  Kalsang is a woodcut printmaker based in the UK, blending traditional and modern techniques to create his work. Each piece begins with hand-drawn textures, capturing the intricate details and natural flow of his designs. These textures are then machine carved into wood, retaining the essence of the hand-drawn lines. Lately, he has been exploring the use of fragmented segments—breaking down these textures into parts and reassembling them into new compositions. This approach allows him to play with structure and movement, creating layered and evolving images. The final prints are hand-pressed using a brayer, merging the tactile quality of traditional printmaking with a contemporary approach to design.
