Untitled

This untitled woodblock print belongs to Abadal Lloret's continuing studio practice at the Art Print Residence, the international workshop her parents Claudia Lloret and Jordi Roses opened near Barcelona in 2012. Like her other untitled works, it operates within a deliberately quiet visual register that allows the material qualities of mokuhanga — laid [washi](/glossary/washi), water-based pigment, the soft impression of [baren](/glossary/baren) on absorbent paper — to remain visible rather than subordinated to narrative content. Abadal Lloret was trained in printmaking from childhood in the family studio before formal study in biology, and her return to the medium coincided with her parents' fifteen-year direction of the International Printmaking School in Calella and Mataró through Murtra Edicions. Her sustained work in mokuhanga — water-based, multi-block, kentō-registered, baren-pulled — situates her within the European cohort that adopted Japanese woodblock following the founding of the International Mokuhanga Conference in 2011, and her teaching role at the residence makes her a transmitter of the tradition into the Catalan and Spanish print scenes.
