Tracy Mayrello Still Life Collaboration with Marc Burckhardt

Still Life is one of Marc Burckhardt's most heartfelt allegories narrating a hidden meaning through symbolic imagery. The subject being personal in nature, he applies the symbols to question what we value, and how we interpret our traditions. A story that can be interpreted to reveal hidden meaning, typically a moral. He is a fantastic story teller leaving the viewer with the inter-weavings of historical symbols and the contemporary, to take in and interpret its meaning to a very deep and personal conclusion.

Mayrello and Burckhardt collaborated in the studio through several different color combinations to decide the final B.A.T (Bon Au Tier). The edition of 40 is signed and numbered. With the influence of Flemish Renaissance paintings, he has mastered meticulous hand-tinting with each and every print in this edition! Master Printer Mayrello embraced this approach, excited each individual hand-tinting resulted in a unique edition of multiple originals. 

“Still Life” etching is hand-signed and numbered. This edition is Chine collé, hand-tinted on Kitakata Natural handmade paper. 7.25" x 7.25" image on 13.25" x 13.25" Rives BFK paper. This edition was a collaboration published at Creekside Studio in 2021. $900.00 (unframed).
