Description
A contemporary etching with aquatint and hand coloring on paper titled “Shooting Star” by Shigeki Kuroda. Hand signed in pencil on the lower right, titled lower mid, with an annotation of 42/50 on the lower left. The composition merges abstract and figurative elements, featuring a dynamic composition with bicycles and umbrella-like forms in motion across a muted ochre and brown landscape. The right side of the print is divided by a stark black panel filled with vivid swipes of aqua, violet, and rose, suggesting motion, energy, or celestial traces—true to the title. Executed with bold visual contrasts and layered textures, this print showcases Kuroda’s unique approach to visual storytelling through graphic symbolism and gestural abstraction. From a private collection. Dimensions: 24”h x 30.5”w x 1”d (framed). In very good vintage condition. Full condition reports are available upon request.
