"This drawing of a head is the first of its kind. This piece happened by mistake, but I was pleasantly surprised by it’s result. The art work reminded me of old x-ray photos which perfectly fit my personal fascination of the human anatomy and it’s vast diversity in detail and layers (bones, blood veins, muscles, skin etc.) Together with LEAP Art Prints we interpreted this piece in a screen print using colors and silver pigments which bring humble reflection to the edition. The selection of the right tones and pigments result in a very interesting effect, especially when looked at from different angles." "Sometimes, when I draw the line movement is different. It becomes cleaner, dirtier, rounder, straighter… None of my drawings are alike, and I learn every single time from those little shifts – It’s them that bring evolution to my line." - Martin Tardy This is the first screen print edition by Viennese artist Martin Tardy created together with LEAP. The artist picked three artworks from his private collection to be reproduced in close collaboration with LEAP and published in a small edition on carefully selected papers. Each of these pieces stand for a certain change in the body of work by Martin Tardy evolving over the years. *Option at checkout for free shipping Worldwide from 400€ and Austria from 300€ Follow the artist on Instagram Find all Martin Tardy prints here

Martin Tardy is a Vienna-based artist of Austrian-French descent, born 1992, whose practice follows a single rule: the pen never leaves the paper. His continuous line drawings trace the human body in unbroken gestures — a technique rooted in Picasso’s single-line portraits and Matisse’s figure studies, but taken further. Tardy often draws with both hands simultaneously, turning each work into a performance. This is his first screen print series, produced in close collaboration with LEAP — the artist selected three works from his private collection to be reproduced on carefully chosen papers.

Portrait Shadow 1 (Black) is the anomaly in Tardy’s line-based practice — a head rendered not in clean contour but in dense, almost violent mark-making that recalls medical imaging. The artist describes it as a happy accident that reminded him of old X-ray photographs — “perfectly fitting my personal fascination with the human anatomy and its vast diversity in detail and layers: bones, blood veins, muscles, skin.” Silver pigments in the screen print catch the light at different angles, shifting the image between flat surface and uncanny depth. Two-color screen print on Pergraphica Infinite Black paper.
