P07584 UNTITLED 1978
Inscribed ‘Bernik’ bottom right and ‘1978’ and ‘II/XXX’
Screenprint, printed and published by the artist, 19 1/2×27 1/2 (49.6×69.8)
Purchased from the artist (Grant-in-Aid) 1981
The writing on both these prints [P07584- P02548] evokes old manuscripts; it is mysterious and illegible. Bernik's expressive calligraphy and gestural colour marks are reminiscent of the work of Antoni Tàpies. He has used screenprinted colour to convey fragile paper collage.
