Florates 1, Michel Cornu

Michel Cornu’s limited edition fine art aquatint’s pieces have a calligraphic quality that has been described as simple yet well executed. Is is this style that creates a mature relationship between the paper and ink, decisively partnering an age-old combination. The grisaille palette offsets the delicacy and lightness of the elongated shapes that appear to grow and develop, resulting in a powerful visual impact.
