A masterful example of Brett Whiteley's spiritual and philosophical preoccupations, this sugarlift aquatint captures the serene essence of Buddha through the artist's characteristically fluid and expressive line work. The rich tonal qualities achieved through the aquatint process lend the image a meditative depth, reflecting Whiteley's lifelong fascination with Eastern philosophy and consciousness. Printed on wove paper and presented as the full sheet, the work demonstrates Whiteley's skilled command of the printmaking medium alongside his more celebrated paintings.
