Pierre Brisson Signed Aquatint Sugar Lift Abstract Art
This is an aquatint / sugar lift print by artist Pierre Brisson. The paper is especially thick, and appears to be more than one layer. This enhances the depth of the textures, and the raised blue lines that zig zag across the weathered looking surface. The sugar lift process, also known as "Lift-ground Etching," preserves the artist's brushstrokes, which come across here nicely.Artist: Pierre Brisson Title: Au Pied L' Echelle (marked in pencil, on back) Medium: Aquatint / sugar lift on paper Sheet size: 19 x 26 inches Signature: Signed by the artist in pencil, lower right Edition: Numbered 53/75 in pencil, lower left Condition: Excellent Certificate of Authenticity: Included The look and feel of this piece is full of age and time worn surfaces.

Brisson is one of Europe's most talented young contemporary artists. With simplified figures and extensive texturing, Brisson's works have been compared to cave drawings. Their timeless appearances represent a kind of archeological dig for the artist: he cuts, scratches and pierces the multi-layered surfaces of his canvases to reveal his images from within the strata of these materials. Brisson's original and graphic artworks have been the subject of numerous gallery and museum exhibitions throughout Western Europe, North America, and Japan.
