Ian Burke (b.1955) - 2010 Woodcut Mackerel

This bold woodcut print depicts a single mackerel rendered in striking black ink. The artist has employed confident, expressive linework to capture the fish's anatomical details, from its scaled body and prominent eye to its flowing fins, whilst the stark tonal contrast between the dark print and light paper emphasises the work's graphic quality. Inscribed in graphite with the title, the print number 1/3. Signed and dated. Well presented, float-mounted in a contemporary wood frame. On handmake paper.
