Hot blue bath

Innocence and menace meet in a richly coloured scene by Jordi Ribes.

Hot blue bath reimagines Ribes' original oil painting through labour intensive photopolymer etching. The unusual medium allows the capture of both meticulous detail and dense pigment, resulting in a sleek but amply textured print. Uncanny and restricted by the coiled bath, the central figure is surrounded by an undulating, vegetal landscape seemingly ready to swallow them whole.

The edition will launch in three distinct colour palettes, conceived by the artist to be displayed together or singularly.
