A luminous and atmospheric work by Howard Hodgkin, *Venice, Morning* captures the shimmering, ephemeral quality of the iconic city through his characteristically sensuous and gestural use of colour. Executed as a hand-painted etching and aquatint with carborundum in colours across sixteen sheets of Velin Arches 300 gsm paper, the work demonstrates Hodgkin's mastery of printmaking as an expressive, painterly medium. The expansive multi-sheet format allows his bold, enveloping marks to evoke the soft morning light and watery reflections of Venice with an intimacy and emotional intensity uniquely his own.
