Original intaglio monoprint by American abstract artist, Michael Rich.

While in Venice, Italy during an artist's residency in 2015, Michael meticulously filled a sketchbook with delicate pen and ink drawings created during his explorations on foot through the city’s labyrinthine streets. Upon returning to his home studio, he began the process of transforming these intimate, small-scale sketches into a compelling series of ambitious intaglio monoprints. Each of these intensely colored prints stands as a singular work of art, unique in both composition and imagery. Michael employs a complex monoprinting technique that involves the use of multiple plates and incorporates a full spectrum of intaglio methods, including aquatint, drypoint, engraving, as well as both soft and hard ground etching, resulting in a rich layering of texture and depth.

"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.”
