22-291 “Sunrise” Limited Edition Serigraph

A brilliant serigraph signed Shirk titled “Sunrise” print number 246/350. Undated. The framed size is 30 x 36 inches. We’re still researching this artist. Silkscreen printing is done by applying a stencil to a fine mesh screen, adding ink, then applying pressure to squeegee the ink through the mesh onto the paper. The stencil can be hand cut, photographic emulsion, or painted directly onto the screen. These prints have lush, thick, opaque ink—often in very bright colors. Each color is applied individually. Artists will often number these prints in editions. It takes years to perfect the technique.
