Artwork description:
The commune of Gentilly adjoins Montrouge and the southern side of the city of Paris. It has traditionally been a place of goldsmiths and coin mintage. The famous street photographer Robert Doisneau was born here and a local museum celebrates his work and that of other humanist photographers. One of his most famous photographs was 'The kiss by the Hôtel de Ville'. On a recent visit to London I was amused to see a couple re-staging the photograph at Tower Bridge. Doisneau said, “The marvels of daily life are exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street.”
This is an original relief print pulled from an engraving cut in rubber. The edition is 10 prints only. Please feel free to contact me to put a question or make a remark.
Materials used:
Japanese Sunome Senka paper, oil-based printing ink

About
I notice sympathetic details in everyday scenes and like to portray
