Anthony Fry — Krishna in the Tree

Anthony Fry

Krishna in the Tree

"Krishna in the Tree" is a 2003 colored etching with carborundum by Anthony Fry, executed as a printer's proof (PP 2/4) and printed by Jack Shirreff at 107 Workshop in Wiltshire on wove paper. The work measures 502 by 600 millimeters and presents the full sheet printed to the edges, combining traditional intaglio techniques with the texture of carborundum to create a richly layered composition. This impressionistic interpretation of the Hindu deity draws on classical mythology through a contemporary printmaking approach that emphasizes both technical innovation and spiritual subject matter.
