Hand-carved and printed linocut on certain fundamental principles of quantum physics and the double slit experiment (vertical central part) all mixed with abstract elements. all forming a graphically coherent and SF-inspired whole

This the type of shit that survives the apocalypse and forms the core of a wasteland religion. Excellent work

hahahaha, thanks a lot ! I have to think about engraving this on rock, it will have a better chance of surviving a cataclysm.

I remember showing your work to my then girlfriend and being so amazed about the work it takes to make these! Is there anywhere you explain each part of the pieces (as in meaning/inspiration)? I'd love to read about it

[–] Julien_catanese@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

as it is above all a graphic work I am a little reluctant to explain everything because it kills the mysterious aura. But I did it for this one because it is the most scientifically based of all my engravings : here is the explanatory sheet :)

Thank you so much for sharing! And don't worry, it's not any less interesting to me now that there is an explanation, quite the opposite really.

Keep it up man, I hope I can buy a piece from you someday! Cheers

Archeologists 1000 years later "we believe that this primitive yet also sophisticated human civilization has tried to produce the first prototype of a quantum chip shown in exhibit A"

I may have said this before but your works remind me of the Voyager Golden Records

yep, exactly, it's a bit of my common thread since I started. the gold ink also contributes quite a bit :)

I think I've mentioned previously, but these really are beautifully done. So nicely balanced and composed. Thanks again for sharing :)

Thanks a lot ! I had already posted a silver version here but this gold series being new I thought I would put it back here :)
