Mahogany Intaglio I

A work of quiet authority, the Mahogany Intaglio I by John Richard transforms paper into something that reads with the weight and presence of a sculptural relief. The polished finish draws a composed luminosity across its surface, lending depth to every carved impression and shadow. At twenty-two inches tall and eighteen wide, its proportion is considered — scaled for the intimate wall, the considered vignette, the space that rewards a second look.
