Guy Allen
Waning Quarter Moon - Guy Allen - Print from an etching - Wooden Frame

2020

About the Item

A last quarter or waning quarter moon appears half-lit by sunshine and half-immersed in its own shadow. It rises in the middle of the night, appears at its highest in the sky around dawn, and sets around midday. The Moon has had an importance in human culture since the dawn of history and likely before. Often revered as a feminine deity and counterpoint to a masculine Sun god, its monthly cycle as it passes through its phases has given life a discernible rhythm throughout time. Moon Series Guy Allen’s Moon Series of etchings was conceived and produced during the isolation of lockdown. Printed on to black paper with white ink, this new direction stretched his imagination and technique but produced a luminous series.

  • "CYCLOPS", print, hand-tooled aluminum intaglio, abstract, monotype, framed
    By Harold Wortsman
    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    CYCLOPS is a hand-tooled aluminum intaglio print on Rives BFK 250g paper with deckle edge. It is a framed monotype in black matte wood with spacers under glass to maintain the deckle edge of paper. The print floats on museum board using archival Hayaku Japanese Hinging Paper. Like Wortsman's sculptures, the abstract components here seem to possess both organic and geometric forms. Note the four corners of black, bracing the center serpentine shape of copper and black speckled white – it is characteristic of Wortsman's practice. Warm, contemporary, uniquely crafted, yet speaks to ancient, tribal traditions of art-making that cross cultures and histories. Highly attuned to the indigenous art of Africa, the Middle East, India and Asia, his forms are organic and geometric abstracts with masculine and feminine attributes that resonate together as a pleasing enigma. They make sense immediately, yet never give up all their secrets. CYCLOPS was exhibited at Harold Wortsman...
