Serigraph definition:
A stencil method of printmaking in which an image is imposed
on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an
impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing
surface. Also called silkscreen process and screen-printing. A serigraph is a
print made by this method.
The word Serigraph is a combination of two Greek
words, seicos,
meaning silk, and graphos,
meaning writing. Silkscreen printing and other stencil-based printing
methods are the oldest forms of printmaking.
Printmaking is a process for producing editions
(multiple originals) of artwork. Painting, on the other hand, is a process
for producing a single original piece of artwork. In printmaking, each
print in an edition is considered an original work of art, not a copy.
Silkscreen printing can be traced as far
back as 9000 BC, when stencils were used to decorate Egyptian tombs and Greek
mosaics. From 221-618 AD stencils were used in China for production of images
of Buddha. Japanese artists turned screen printing into a complex art by
developing an intricate process wherein a piece of silk was stretched across a
frame to serve as the carrier of hand cut stencils.
Silkscreen printing found its way to the west in
the 15th century. The original material used in screen printing was silk, hence
the name Silkscreen printing. Today polyester is the fabric of
choice.
