This Fundraising Edition by Iñaki Bonillas, titled Transparencies, features a set of six double-sided screen prints on semi-transparent paper (front and back pictured above). Borrowing images from source books on 16th and 17th Century painting, the black and white prints replicate the curious effect whereby an image from the reverse side of a page inadvertently shows through the artwork at hand. Taken from well and lesser known Renaissance works, the prints show paired scenes of domestic life – embracing couples, decorative glasses, details of hands – as well as still-lifes and country landscapes. As though uncovered by radiograph, each image gives way a second buried work that suggests a deeper meaning. The work is presented in a custom made folio. The work is accompanied by a signed and numbered certificate.

Iñaki Bonillas (b. 1981) is a Mexico City based artist who uses manual techniques of photography to explore the disappearing complexity of trained and skilled hands as the world becomes increasingly outsourced and digitized. Bonillas also uses printmaking as an archival process, reaffirming a sense of permanence to images, while simultaneously creating a new visual object. Bonillas has exhibited his work at institutions such as OMR in Mexico City, Museo de Arte Moderno, Sonia Rosso in Turin, Italy, and Art Basel in Switzerland, among others.
