Silver and copper on dark blue-green acrylic gesso on paper. 15.5” x 11”.
In his "Iteration" series of metalpoint drawings, Jonathan Higgins puts a contemporary spin on an old master technique. Using soft metals, in this case silver and copper, to make marks on the prepared deep blue-green ground, traces of the metal are left on the surface and density is built up by repeated marks. Metalpoint, or silverpoint, was widely used by Renaissance artists, typically on a white or light ground. On a dark ground the reflective qualities and color of the metals are emphasized. - Date
