Red Grooms — Fall of Jericho
Red Grooms

Fall of Jericho

Red Grooms's "Fall of Jericho" is an etching with aquatint that captures the biblical siege with the artist's characteristically exuberant and gestural style. The print employs dynamic linework and tonal variations created through aquatint to convey the dramatic moment when the walls of Jericho collapse, translating Grooms's energetic approach to printmaking. The composition reflects Grooms's interest in historical narrative rendered through expressive mark making rather than literal representation.
