About the Item
"Left Gatekeeper Ibis" is an etching, aquatint and soap ground aquatint printed from two copper plates in red and blue inks. The print was created and printed on Somerset Satin paper at Manneken Press in an edition of 10. There is a border on all sides of the image. The image size is 21" x 18 3/4" and the sheet size is 28 1/2" x 26". The artist's signature, date, title and edition number are in pencil on the lower margin. "Left Gatekeeper Ibis" is a companion to "Right Gatekeeper Ibis". While the prints are available singly, the artist's intent is for the two prints to be hung side by side with the birds facing one another.
Rhea Edge uses her art to convey an environmental message and a moral message that breaks through words and facts. Her art speaks a truth that is often obscured by manipulative phrasing and partisan politics. She shows us the vulnerabilities of endangered species and their impending extinction. It’s beautiful. It’s disconcerting. It leaves viewers with uncomfortable moral questions.
Rhea Edge is an Illinois-based artist who often uses images of birds in her paintings and prints. Edge, Associate Professor of Art and chair of the fine and performing arts department at Eureka College, has traveled extensively documenting animal extinctions around the world. She has paintings of the Scarlet Ibis in Trinidad, Sandhill Cranes in Nebraska, leatherback turtles on a Florida beach and tigers in India.
