This print, created exclusively for SLG, features a scene taken from one of Raqib Shaw’s most recent paintings, titled The Martyrdom of Icarus (After Honthorst and Carracci), a painting which was partly inspired by Annibale Carracci’s Triumph of Bacchus and Ariadne. Shaw often depicts otherworldly and fantastical scenes with a number of mythological and literary characters that represent puzzling and provocative themes. Etching a la poupée is a method where all the colours are applied to one plate with twists of cloth and the image is printed in one pull.
