Intaglio Etching

8" x 10"

Scoot Kiefer is a very exclusive printmaker artist and photographer. His work is generally based on cover views of cities and nature scenes. He uses white paper for his art: however his work is very much admired due to the fact that he uses the etchings themselves as a medium for his photography. Kiefer's prints are very crisp and detailed which gives his compositions an intense and effective feel to them.

I chose his art because his etchings are remarkable and I find this particular piece intriguing. His art looks very realistic and his use of negative and positive space allows his piece to come alive. His meticulous detail is quite astounding considering how this piece looks as if it were stenciled as well. I do not know how much time he took to make this print, but I admire his patience and care in creating something so lovely.
