Michael Hegeman — Contemporary artist working in intaglio printmaking

Michael Hegeman produces original intaglio prints combining etching with multi-plate monoprint processes. Each work is built through successive layers of ink and multiple printing stages, resulting in one-of-a-kind prints defined by controlled variation and material precision.

The work explores form, surface, and spatial relationships through fragmented geometric structures and layered textures. These visual systems evoke geological formations, weathered surfaces, and archaeological traces, while remaining open to interpretation.

Each print is produced as part of a structured practice in which interdependent plate systems and sequential processes generate materially distinct outcomes within a consistent visual language.
