Angels & Emblemata
Monotypes, Oils, and Intaglios
Bromer Gallery in Boston presents Kuch’s new series of small monotypes and oil on copper, Moth Angels. The moth-winged seraphs are Kuch’s reaction to the horrific invasion of Ukraine. Ten angels, in turn, react with gestures of anger, grief, defiance and despondency. Kuch pulled two monotypes each from ten copper plates and then limned them with handmade watercolors in a palette of yellow and blue. He then used the ghost image left on the copper plate as an underpainting for yellow and blue pigmented icon-like oil paintings. The show will also introduce the long-awaited artist book from Kuch’s Double Elephant Press, Emblemata–Hic Sunt Dracones. In the wildly-popular tradition of sixteenth and seventeenth century emblem books, Kuch’s poems and etchings of allegorical figures return to comment on our twenty-first century. Relief etchings of dragons ornament the etched poems in the book. Other work from previous Double Elephant Press books will also be on display.
Moth Angel series come with butternut frame made by the artist
