Original intaglio monoprint by American abstract artist, Michael Rich.

These monoprints are meticulously created using a carefully curated "family" of copper plates that are thoughtfully mixed and matched, subtly altering the color palette and orientation with each unique print that is produced. This nuanced approach enables the artist to work in intricate, multi-layered compositions, a process that mirrors the complexity, richness, and depth found in traditional painting techniques. Embedded within these prints are delicate antique art book pages, pressed gently into the surface through the refined chin-collé technique. These cherished book pages come from a treasured collection of art volumes that Michael has carried faithfully from one studio to another over many years. By integrating these pages into his prints, the artist not only preserves their tangible presence but also honors the profound and lasting influence they continue to exert on his creative vision. The collection includes masterpieces and insightful writings from legendary artists such as Monet, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, among others—each remaining an enduring source of inspiration in his work to this day. The specific pages featured here are drawn from an exquisite book dedicated to the art of Japanese printmaking, adding a distinct cultural and historical dimension to the prints.

"The abstract landscape painter and printmaker, Michael Rich has for decades, explored the natural world of his experience in intensely colored, gestural abstractions; lively, inventive drawings and unique monoprints. In large-scale, works in oil, Rich trowels, scrapes and brushes together marks of color to suggest deep and illuminated spaces reminiscent of the sky and sea of his island home, Nantucket.
Rich is the recipient of the Basil H. Alkazzi Award (USA) and was included in Sotheby’s auction series, International Young Art. His work is featured in private and public collections nationally including, The Bronx Museum of the Arts, NY; Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans, LA and the Springfield Museum of Art, Springfield, OH.

Michael Rich lives and works in Providence, RI and Nantucket MA and is a Professor of Art at Roger Williams University, Bristol, Rhode Island.”
