STEN & LEX's POSTER STENCIL'S
STEN LEX stencil poster from STEN on Vimeo.
Love this description from Sten & Lex, I added the last sentence through artistic license so maybe the quote marks shouldn't there..but feeling quite poetic this morning.
"We call this technique "Poster Stencil" because the work is both a stencil and poster at the same time. As you can see in the video, we pasted up the matrix of the stencil (cut on paper) on a panel of wood as a poster, we then painted on the matrix in black, when all is dry we destroy the matrix leaving some parts still pasted to the wood. In this way the stencil cannot ever be reproduced and the matrix dies when the work is born, each piece, like a person, becomes unique"
