Edition of 60 - Hand-painted etching and aquatint with carborundum on 16 sheets of Velin Arches paper - In excellent condition // Venice, Afternoon by Howard Hodgkin, created in 1995, is a vibrant and expressive etching and aquatint that captures the essence of an afternoon in Venice. Utilizing carborundum and hand-painting on multiple sheets of Velin Arches paper, Hodgkin employs bold strokes and rich earth tones, punctuated by deep blues, to evoke both the heat and the tranquil mood of the Venetian landscape. The composition is layered with dappled patterns and dark marks, suggestive of shadows, reflections, and the interplay of light on water. Limited to an edition of 60, this artwork is characterized by Hodgkin’s gestural style, which prioritizes emotional resonance over realistic detail, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the ambiance of the scene rather than its literal depiction.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
