About the Item

This black and white mezzotint of a shell next to a violin is an artist proof that was inscribed Happy New Year 2000 and signed by the artist. The regular edition is 80. Another impression of this image is offered on web at another gallery for a vastly higher price. Laurent Schkolnyk was born in 1953 in Paris, France. It was at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Nantes, that he began mastering one of the most difficult artistic mediums called mezzotint. In mezzotint, the entire surface of a copper plate is evenly pitted with an engraving tool called a rocker to create a texture, or “ground,” that will hold ink. In areas that are to remain inkless, the ground is scraped and burnished away. Full color images increase the difficultly because separate plates are required for each primary color. Schkolnyk advantageously uses this labor-intensive medium to fully model soft, rounded forms in luscious hues. In Schkolnyk”s still-life scenes, he juxtaposes objects such as plump, ripe fruit and dainty, porcelain vessels. Schkolnyk”s work has been exhibited internationally at galleries and museums in Canada, France, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Thailand, and the USA. His work is in many public and private collections including the Achenbach Foundation for the Arts, Bibliotheue National, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Portland Art Museum.

Mezzotint

Singer Needle
By Carol Wax
Located in New Orleans, LA
Carol Wax's "Singer Needle" is a mezzotint issued in an edition of 100. It was originally designed to illustrate the step by step mezzotint process in the Abrams publication: "The Mezzotint: History and Technique" authored by Carol Wax. It is FIROS #44 in the catalogue raisonne. This impression is #98 out of 100 Carol Wax originally trained to be a classical musician at the Manhattan School of Music but fell in love with printmaking. Soon after she began engraving mezzotints she was asked by the renowned print dealer Sylvan Cole to exhibit at Associated American Artists Gallery, launching her career as a professional artist/printmaker. With the publication of her book, The Mezzotint: History and Technique, published by Abrams, 1990 and 1996, Carol added author and teacher to her credits. In the ensuing years she has expanded her repertoire of mediums beyond printmaking into other works on paper and painting. In compositions reflecting an appreciation for antiquated machinery and vintage textiles, Wax creates imagery that, in her own words, “… speaks to an inner life perceived in inanimate objects.” She uses stylization and imagination to reinvent subjects, transforming an ordinary typewriter into a monumental icon...
