About the Item
'Wizard of Wyoming ' , Hand Colored Aquatint Etching with the plate (image itself) 12 x 12 inches. On a larger piece of archival paper at approximately 16 x 16 inches and matted to approximately 19 x 19 inches. . An iconic still life image featuring the crash scene of a lone overturned semi truck at night. Original edition of 10. There are only a couple of prints available. The Aquatint Etching with hand coloring is from internationally acclaimed American Realist James Torlakson, whose work depicts majesty in the mundane. Torlakson’s everyday “Americana” scenes include suburban landscapes, traveling carnivals, standing fireworks booths, abandoned drive-in theaters, and autobiographical still life scenes from his Bay Area neighborhood memories and travels. Torlakson is a contemporary artist, proficiently working in oil, watercolor and intaglio etching, and employing European master techniques to create compelling works that pull the viewer in, such as the solo light from his neighborhood street at dusk.
