Description
The Wolf in Konstantin Chaykin's bestiary appears as the Horological Archetype of a guardian standing on the border of worlds. His image on the print combines the traditions of the Eastern Collection with the author's distinctive graphic style.
The symbolic meaning of the wolf in Eastern philosophy is deeply contrasting. In Chinese tradition, the animal is associated with a predatory and ruthless nature. However, in Turkic-Mongolian and Buryat mythology, the wolf is revered as the progenitor and protector of the clan.
The distinctive feature of this work lies in Chaykin's graphic approach. The Horological Archetype is built on a multi-layered hatching technique. Through lines of varying thickness and direction, the master shapes shadows and conveys texture. The colour accents of the print are the ochre eyes and the intense red mouth of the wolf. The artist dedicated more than two weeks of continuous work to the image, which is why every stroke carries philosophical meaning.
You are holding a 12-colour silkscreen print with special authentication embossing. The silkscreen is printed on German 300 g/m² paper made from 100% cotton.
Silkscreen, or serigraphy, is one of the oldest techniques of the artistic stencil printing. Its origins are traditionally associated with medieval China during the Song dynasty, from 960 to 1279. The word “silkscreen” is connected with silk: historically, silk fabric served as the base of the printing screen through which the ink was applied.
The limited-edition 12-colour silkscreen “Wolf” gains exceptional value from Konstantin Chaykin’s direct involvement in the printing process. He is not only the creator of the image that underlies this limited edition, but also the developer of the layer-by-layer composition on his graphic tablet. In effect, the master drew and shaped the color and stencil foundation of the future print with his own hands. As a result, the workshop followed the artist’s exact vision – from the original concept to the final impression. The result of this meticulous work is a unique 12-colour silkscreen print with special authentication embossing. It is printed on German 300 g/m² paper made from 100% cotton. Each piece is signed and numbered by the author, further strengthening its collectible value.
