"Kingyo" (Goldfish)
Title: "Kingyo" (Goldfish)
Medium: intaglio Size: 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" Price: $150 ( unframed ) Notes: Even though the line work is all engraved, I chose to list the medium as "intaglio" as I also relied on some other techniques to realize the plate. The area around the fish was etched in acid, leaving the fish as a raised embossment. To print, the plate was first inked in yellow. The black was applied with a brayer, mixing a "relief" print technique as well, then printed. The piece was created for a specific show themed "Sealife." My thought process was fairly straightforward: What would a Fabergé ornamental goldfish look like? "Kingyo" of the title simply means "goldfish" in Japanese. Kingyo price (unframed) : $150 |
