For centuries engraving and etching were the methods used to produce maps and atlases. But what we have here is not a simple map of the real world &#8211; instead we have a utopian version of a country characterised by a reality full of hope and humorous fiction. The atlas shows both the physical and geographic reality of the United States and its system of governance by two national chambers: a House of Representatives and a Senate.<\/p>\n<p>The Atlas shows the geographical borders of each American State, precisely rendering the shape, size and scale, along with each State&#8217;s members of Congress. However, although the proportions are correct, the members of the legislature have been reassigned by Didier Mutel. Artists, painters and thinkers from periods ranging from the Renaissance to the contemporary world, such as Michaelangelo, Rembrandt, D\u00fcrer, Goya and James Turell, are now running the House of Representatives. At the same time, superheroes are in charge of the Senate, with Batman, Superman and the Hulk all present. The Atlas therefore depicts a utopia governed by artists and thinkers with the support of the superheroes in its upper chamber.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;47187&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;47145&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]It is an ambitious work consisting of 55 intaglio prints. It was hand engraved and printed on the hand presses at the Atelier Mutel studio in the Jura region of France between 2010 and 2015.<br \/>\nThe map of each State is printed to scale on a single J\u00e9sus size (76 x 56 cm) sheet of <a href=\"https:\/\/arches-papers.comarches-range-of-papers\/art-publishing\/velin-d-arches\/\">Velin d\u2019ARCHES\u00ae<\/a> wove paper, except for California (two plates), Texas (three), Montana (one larger plate) and Alaska, which is printed to a smaller scale.<\/p>\n<p>The obsessional reference to Acid marks a clear assertion of art as a guiding principle. Acid is the material that incises the metal plate and the tool that generates the art. Acid is the symbol and the pictogram that represents Atelier Mutel. This contemporary interpretation seeks to make the connection between the centuries-long history of the workshop and its current creative vigour.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;47159&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;47173&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;47166&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;47159&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]At the beginning of June this year the Atlas produced by Atelier Mutel was featured in an exhibition for the European Artistic Crafts Days, whose theme this year was &#8220;Little Fingers, Expert Hands&#8221;.

In 1995, he joined Atelier Georges Leblanc as a pupil of Pierre Lallier, who had just been awarded the title of Ma\u00eetre d&#8217;Art. From 1997 to 1999, Didier Mutel was a Fellow at the Villa Medici, the French Academy in Rome. In 2008, Atelier Georges Leblanc closed and Pierre Lallier gave him some of the historic equipment. In 2009, Didier Mutel purchased some premises in Orchamps in Jura, France where he set up a workshop with the equipment he had received from his master. In 2013, he became a Ma\u00eetre d\u2019Art himself. He now teaches at the Institut Sup\u00e9rieur des Beaux-arts in Besan\u00e7on.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;47210&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;47138&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Atelier Mutel in Orchamps in the Jura region is equipped with historic printing presses dating from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Originally created in Paris in 1793, the printmaking workshop represents a unique historic, cultural and artistic heritage which now combines tradition and modernity in its works, with a focus on creativity, transmission and innovation. This is the workshop which printed the original <em>Description de l&#8217;\u00c9gypte<\/em>, also on ARCHES\u00ae paper!<\/p>\n<p>This treasure allows the workshop to make combine traditional methods and contemporary creation.
