I Remember | Lino print on heavy cardstock, 64x84cm

Unique lino print on heavy cardstock, FRAMED (69×89 cm). Unframed dimensions: 64×84 cm. (2026)

This piece was designed, carved and printed by Gabriel Khalife on heavy cardstock and includes the vintage wood frame as shown.

Each print is unique, textured, and may, though carefully selected, show slight variations in ink thickness and colouration due to a hand press being used. The size of the paper may also vary minimally due to it being handmade. Embracing imperfections is part of what makes traditional prints so rewarding. Lino prints are a breath of fresh air in the age of digital printmaking and offer an affordable alternative to would-be art collectors in lieu of more expensive originals such as paintings or drawings. The iterative nature of print production, manifested in each physical step of making, is palpable on the page; an art of process, care and close attention.

I REMEMBER

Every memory has a face and faces come again like memories. In their repetition lies a sort of satirisation, where they might appear with the constancy and overwhelming force of drops of rain or grains of sand. Or they might appear in a slow and steady trickle, over the course of a lifetime. Either way, recording such faces is paramount to capturing them and divulging their sameness to the world. Perhaps we all come to recall the same memories, the same unchanging faces?

The individual faces are separately available as small prints in the Fenici Series, named after the Phoenician pantheon of gods: El, Ashtart, Tanit, Eshmun, Moloch and Melqart.
