Gelli Plate Printing: Creating Abstract Monoprint No 853 The video shows the moment of removing a dried acrylic print from a Gelli plate — the final and most unpredictable step in the monoprinting process. A Gelli plate is a soft silicone printing surface. Acrylic paint is applied directly to the plate, textured with rollers, brushes or found objects, then paper is pressed on top. The print is pulled once — there is no second identical result. The speed of peeling, the moisture in the paint, the pressure applied — all affect what transfers to the paper. No 853 is an acrylic monoprint on paper, part of the ongoing abstract compositions series. The work is available in the store.
