CRANSTON, R.I., June 7, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- Angelnook Publishing welcomes Frantisek Strouhal. Born in Brno, Czechoslovakia, from a family of painters and artists, Frantisek Strouhal's interest in art has always been focused on the traditional and classical painters. He has since combined his love of the old with a passion for the new in becoming a master bromoil artist and Angelnook Publishing is proud to announce his signing with the company as an Exclusive Artist.

Strouhal was introduced to photography while studying fashion design in college. Primarily self-taught he learned the photographic and printing craft through the study of many renowned photographers. Photography gave him the opportunity to grow, express and transform himself. While exploring the boundaries of the photographic medium his artistic nature developed a strong appeal towards the alternative bromoil process. This process allowed him to find satisfaction in techniques that gave him complete control over the final print. His choices of brush, paper, texture and lithographic inks determine the quality of his images. It takes him many hours to build up a depth of ink, layer by layer, to create the desired image. Once completed, his works of art may last for up to 700 years, depending on the paper it's printed on.

Presently, he is creating with the oil printing process in collaboration with his wife Chantal. Together they combine the hands-on techniques of this nineteenth century process to create a paper ready for contact printing with digitally printed paper negative. Minutes, hours, and days of hand labor applying layers of ink indicate his personal dedication to the work of art. Working with bromoil and oil printing makes each image unique.

Angelnook Publishing is committed to representing divinely inspired artists with the intention of sharing their work's beauty and power with the world. With this in mind, Angelnook Publishing takes great pride in being able to count Strouhal amongst it's many talented and spiritual artists.
