Although Agugn and Ito are known for their printmaking works, both of them work with totally different ideas. Agugn’s practice is closely connected to the quality of his DIY craftmanship. The process of his work begins from producing his own handmade papers, translating his ideas onto lino boards, and conventionally printing the images into editions. As pionereed by Pablo Picasso in 1950’s, Agugn prefers linocut’s ability in achieving firm lines in his works to other methods of printmaking. Moving away from conventionality, Ito works in the applied techniques of printmaking, installation, and drawing. The editions of his works are no longer printed on papers – he uses aluminium instead, and his visuals are transferred to those aluminium boards by etching. On the other hand, repetitions form a pattern in Albert’s ceramic works. He mass produces his works by the hundreds. Following geometric formations imbued with ancient symbolic meanings, hundreds of ceramics are moulded manually and then arranged in patterned configurations.
