Marc Balakjian was enigmatic in his subject matter creating images that are disturbing in their ambiguity. Is this image just striped fabric tied with ropes on a platform or is this is a flag-draped coffin symbolizing those who passed "in memory of an historic phrase"? Politicians may turn the phrase but a price must be paid. This small edition mezzotint was created in 1975 in an edition of only 5. Armenian by descent, Marc Balakjian was raised in Lebanon. He spent his early years in the small town of Rayak, before moving to Beirut at the age of 10. He came to England in 1966, initially to study architecture with a firm in Oxford. He then decided to study art at Hammersmith College of Art and took up a postgraduate degree in printmaking at the Slade School of Art in 1971. After graduating he began working at Studio Prints in 1973, just as it was establishing itself in Queen’s Crescent. By 1976 he had become a full time partner, collaborating with other artists as well as continuing his own work, much of which is inspired by his Armenian and Lebanese culture and heritage. By the 1980s work was falling off, so Balakjian and Studio Prints introduced in-house plate-making to serve painters and sculptors who had little experience with printmaking. Artists such as Leon Kossoff, Frank Auerbach, Lucian Freud and Ken Kiff...

This listing includes two works by Shinsuke Notomi: a book and print. The book was produced in a limited edition as part of Shinsuke Notomi’s 1982 exhibit “Light”. In 1979 Notomi traveled to Nepal and Himalayas, did drawings for the "Light" series of lithographs which were published in Paris in 1982 and exhibited at the Cartia Granoff Gallery, Paris, and then in 1984 at the Laforet Museum Akasaka, Tokyo. Reminiscent of Jasper Johns' Target with Plaster Casts, the Shinsuke Notomi lithograph depicts concentric circles and checked rectangles with small points of white throughout. Watercolor-like shading gives this work a fluid spontaneity. Shinsuke Notomi was born in Shanghai in 1942. He came to the United States in 1962, studied at the Art Student League in New York, and then earned a BA and a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) at the California College of Arts Crafts in San Francisco. He taught art at Indiana State University from 1972 to 1974, and then traveled to Peru and Bolivia to study Inca art...
