Abstract

Compared to other visual arts, graphic arts are characterized by unique characteristics. Printing for instance, as graphic art, especially monotype, is distinguished by its ability to copy and produce multiple non-identical copies in a short time. Perhaps the graphic nature of the replication process allows more enrichment of installation artworks. Many artists of installation art have been able to produce constructed, or composite works of art, from the repetition of printing copies. Then, they could use that in covering walls and floors, in a certain way that would convey their philosophy. Contemporary artists have used several different techniques to produce a 3D-printed work of art. They have violated the classic rules in that area and could produce monotypes on unconventional surfaces. This was best seen in the cyanotype technique, which is based on light sensitivity, and that, in its turn, witnessed development in different ways as reflected in the works of contemporary artists, who, by introducing such works, have no intention of setting new artistic or technical traditions. They just want to communicate their ideas and highlight their views. The practice of art has shifted rapidly over the last 15 years, Today, we can see printing on an equal footing with the other visual arts, playing part of the vanguard of that area, and witnessing a continuous development, to such extent that it demands a great effort to keep up with its pace.
