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.

This print was created on the occasion of SPOTLIGHT, a new initiative between the Art Rental & Sales Program (AR&S) and the Curatorial Department of the Vancouver Art Gallery. In this collaboration, Gallery curators invite an artist represented by AR&S to create a mural on a feature wall in the Gallery Lobby. This special initiative aims to provide new opportunities for emerging artists, as well as to activate the lobby space for thousands of visitors each year.

The project launches with a new work by Vancouver-based visual artist Sandeep Johal. The meaning behind Johal's intricate work is powerful. In the artist's words: "The woman represents hope. The beast woman represents anger. The tiger represents action. Feelings are just feelings without action. It’s action that propels these feelings into something tangible which can effect change. The hands represent the inherent daily threat of violence women face."
