Abstract
In fine art printmaking, the monoprint is part of a well-established technique. The characteristic of monoprint is easily recognized as a single output and different from the edition that is usually created through another medium such as silkscreen, etching, engraving, and others. Therefore, the objective of this study was to explore the monoprint technique to investigate the type of medium and expression from several selected artworks produced among local printmakers in Malaysia. This study began by choosing various samples of artworks that showed the features of monoprint. Then, the classification of the artworks through the specific theme was explored to categorize the outcomes of the medium and effects within the expression. Examination of the artwork represents the individual who recognizes how the artists choose the medium and transfer the creativity to their artworks. This study delivered proper instruction and differentiated between edition and single expression through monoprint.
