SANDEEP JOHAL

CURRENT

Shop Limited Editions from our 2024 Fall Portfolio, featuring artworks by acclaimed Canadian artists Anna Binta Diallo, Samuel Roy-Bois, Sandeep Johal, and Sara Khan.

The Artists for Kids Limited Edition Portfolio program funds educational programs, artist residencies, art camps, scholarships, bursaries, and future acquisitions for Artists for Kids and the Gordon Smith Gallery Permanent Collection.

Collecting an edition from the Artists for Kids’ Limited Edition Portfolio becomes not only an investment in artists, art education, and your art collection, but in building community and understanding through the arts.

About this Edition

"I am easy to find" is a 13-layer screen-printed edition on archival cotton rag paper. Screen printing is a stencil-based process that involves creating multiples of an image by building it up in layers, with each color in the design printed individually. The image begins as a full-color design created by Sandeep Johal, which is then broken down by our studio into individual color components. Each color component is transferred onto photographic film, which is used to expose light-sensitive fine mesh screens. This creates mesh stencils where ink either passes through onto the paper in the image area or is blocked in the non-image area. Each color is prepared and printed this way, with its own screen, carefully aligned and printed by hand. The result is a multi-layered edition where each color is applied in sequence. In this process, there is no single 'original' artwork. Instead, each print is created from the same set of screens, with every layer carefully printed by hand to ensure consistency across the edition.
