Description
Azul II (Blue II) is an original aquatint by Venancio Arribas, a meditation on colour in which the blue announced by the title dominates the composition. The small plate, about 22.5 x 16.5 cm, is centred on a generous sheet, and the image has the character of a luminous vision. Translucent strata of pale and deeper blue rise towards a sky broken by white, foaming passages, while below a dense cluster of curving, overlapping volumes, architectural or rock-like, catches glints of ochre and silver above a band of dark water that mirrors them in vertical streaks. The rounded forms suggest a building of fluid metal surfaces seen across a river, yet the artist keeps the motif open, placing atmosphere above description. Aquatint, which fixes tone rather than line by means of a resin grain bitten into the plate, is used here in successive layers of colour to obtain soft gradations and transparencies close to those of watercolour, and the plate mark frames the image like a window. The contrast between the cool, airy upper half and the darker, reflective lower zone gives the small format a surprising depth. The print belongs to an edition of 225 impressions, numbered and hand-signed by the artist.
Presentation
Venancio Arribas (Madrid, 1954) trained in printmaking at the Escuela de Artes Aplicadas de Madrid while working in graphic arts studios alongside artists such as Lucio Muñoz and Rafael Casariego. He specialises in intaglio, especially etching and aquatint, and between 1979 and 1981 produced etchings and aquatints illustrating texts by Gregorio Marañón for bibliophile editions.
