Seller's Notes: Laurent Schkolnyk is one of the very few masters of the mezzotints medium, anywhere in the world. His mezzotints are richly colored and his imagery is serene and beautiful. Mezzotint was invented by Dutch artist Von Siegel at the beginning of the 17th century. The technique is measured by the artist spending a long period of time “rocking” the copper plate from which the print is “pulled”. His mezzotints are richly colored and his imagery is serene and beautiful. They are a "must have" for any serious art collector who strives for quality and value by a true master. Schkolnyk studied drawing and etching at the Beaux Arts School in Nantes, France, where he became a student of professor Guimezanes in 1971. He then initiated his study of the mezzotint technique. The light is brought out of darkness in these exquisite designs created by Laurent Schkolnyk. The works have a sensual quality and display a unity between realistic themes and fantastic compositions that resides in an intimate atmosphere which discloses the extreme attention and the loving respect of the artist for the birth of the precious image on the plate.
