Description

Zinc etch­ing, aquatint and dry­po­int, 20×16 cm (plate size), 2021. Limited edi­tion of 8, numbered and signed.

If you cycle along the River Chemnitz, in the middle of all that green you’ll stumble across this lovely block of bricks, con­crete and rust. All the inter­lock­ing nooks and cran­nies seem to have grown organ­ic­ally rather than built for a pur­pose, and over­all there’s so much sur­prises in these lines that the build­ing really looks as if it had jumped straight out of a Schiele paint­ing. At first this plate was done from life and later only refined in the studio.
