Final Irony comments on the human tendency to conceal our emotions. Hands cover the subjects' face, create an ambiguity that could indicate either great joy, sorrow, or rage. Both Victor and the Creature feel intense emotional extremes, and their ability or inability to conceal those emotions impact the trajectory of the work. What is a “true” indicator of emotion? And, in the case of this piece, is it the presence or absence of color?
With a strong mottled texture and warm base tone, we’ve sourced a Hahnemühle German Etching paper that creates a print with strong colors and deep blacks to give that rich, high in contrast feel. Since the pronounced texture of the paper enables it to hold more ink, this paper gives each print a handmade crafted feel.
Prints are shipped flat in a protective parchment sleeve in between two sheets of stiff cardboard to keep prints flat in transit. If the artwork is damaged in any way during shipping, please contact us right away with photographs documenting any such damages. We will seek to address the damage to customer satisfaction on a case by case basis.
