Crown Point Press is pleased to release its first project with Oakland-based artist Rupy C. Tut. In the spring of 2024 in the Press’s etching studio, Tut created her first intaglio prints during a two-week residency.
Tut is influenced by 18th century traditional Indian painting and was trained in the techniques of that period. She creates densely colorful figurative paintings which reflect social and contemporary issues of motherhood, feminism, patriarchy, identity and the environment. To create the paintings, Tut transfers line drawings onto hemp paper or linen and hand-mixes her palette from raw pigments. In the Crown Point studio, she used hard ground and soft ground etching to create fine lines and the aquatint technique for color.
