Description

Anonymous (20th century) Untitled, work on metal plate. Abstract pattern, created by galvanic process on plate. One of a kind. Metal plate on black lacquered chipboard (minor damage to the edge of the plate) 100 x 90 cm. Electroplating is one of the processes used in the production of shaving foils for dry shavers to refine the shaving foils and improve the quality of the shaving result. One metal that is used is copper. The shaving foils are then placed on large metal plates in the galvanic baths and refined. In our artwork, these plates were taken out of the baths and placed wet/flat on the table. The dissolved metals, including copper, were then applied to other plates and the solutions on the base plate were warped according to the decision of an "artist". Now they were dried and the colourful structures were created on the metal plate. Each object produced in this way is unique, as the contours are never the same. These objects were produced as a Christmas present for special customers by a company that manufactures the shear foils in an edition of approx. 100 pieces.
