Icon by Amy Crook
This is another tiny etching plate, which I inked using a method where the figure, who was etched deep enough to leave an impression in the paper, was inked in yellow, then the plate was wiped mostly clean and the rest of the surface was re-inked in red.
In classical art, yellow is the color of suffering, and of course in modern times we’re all about red for pain and blood. The diluted ink actually bled down the paper a little when it was run through the press, adding to the symbolism.
I actually did a whole series of crucifixion pieces during that time period, though this is definitely the smallest of the lot — the plate itself is only one inch square.
Icon, detail, by Amy Crook
Icon, 1″x1″ etching on a 10″x4″ piece of watercolor paper, $299 with free shipping. $30 of your money will go to charity.
Details about Icon:
- It’s one of a kind, not part of an edition
- It’s printed onto watercolor paper, and would need to be matted or framed before display
- I can matte or frame it for you for a small fee, or you can do it yourself, either way shipping is always free
- The paper is approximately 10″x4″ but the image is only 1″x1″
- When you buy this piece, $30 will go to the charity that’s in the sidebar at the time you buy it
