Aquatint on Rives BFK - Signed, dated and numbered in pencil // Richard Diebenkorn, Sugarlift Spade is a 1982 aquatint printed on Rives BFK paper. This abstract composition, rendered in black and white, features bold, organic shapes that curve and overlap within a square frame. The central figure resembles a spade, created with flowing, irregular forms, and areas of negative space. The use of the sugarlift aquatint technique adds texture and depth to the image, with subtle variations in tone and surface. The bold contrast between the dark and light areas emphasizes the interplay between form and void, a hallmark of Diebenkorn’s explorations in abstraction. Hand-signed, dated, and numbered by the artist in pencil, this limited-edition print is an example of Diebenkorn's distinctive approach to printmaking, where simplicity of form meets complexity in execution.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
