Laurent Schkolnyk was born in Paris, France in 1953. He studied drawing and etching at the Beaux Art School in Nantes, France, and later studied with Professor Guimezanes - learning the details of the mezzotint technique.

Schkolnyk is a master of three-color mezzotint prints. He creates three different mezzotint plates and then prints each one using a primary color. These transparent colors interact with each other creating a full spectrum of colors from white to bright red and velvet black. Whether the impression is printed in one color or multi-colors, the final product is amazingly rich.

Condition: Very good condition, no tears or stains.
