Silver and copper on red 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 red 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
