About the Item

"Right 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. "Right Gatekeeper Ibis" is a companion to "Left 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. Over decades, her message has been a clarion call for climate justice. Rhea Edge is President of the John Wesley Powell Chapter of the National Audubon Society. Her work can be found in many private and public collections, including: •Illinois State University, Normal, IL •W.M. Putnam Co., Bloomington, IL •Eureka College, Eureka, IL •Bradley University, Peoria, IL •Springfield Art Museum, Springfield, IL

Scribble Cat

By William Kentridge

Located in Toronto, Ontario

William Kentridge (b. 1955) is an internationally acclaimed South African artist renowned for his dynamic prints, drawings, large-scale installations, and animated films. Kentridge balances universal experiences with the complexity of South African political history and society. Born in Johannesburg to two prominent lawyers active in anti-apartheid efforts, Kentridge’s proximity to the dissolution of apartheid gave him a unique social sensitivity. His upbringing would shape the socio-political lens that informed his work as an artist. Kentridge is somewhat of a polymath. Having pursued formal education across politics, fine art, miming, and theater, it comes as no surprise that his work cannot be contained to the bounds of a single medium. Charcoal and ink are often his first tools for creation. The density, darkness and texture of the medium is instantly recognizable throughout his oeuvre.. Click here to learn more about Kentridge’s artist process from inside his Johannesburg studio. "Scribble Cat" is a paradigm of Kentridge's work and is instantly recognizable for its strong aesthetic and composition of layered pages. Kentridge's interest in cats stems back to his childhood when the prominent South African artist Cecil Skotnes...
