Omen – Limited Edition Etching (Exhibited at RE International Original Print Exhibition 2022)
Description:
Omen is an original hard ground and aquatint etching by artist Rhianna Catt, created using traditional printmaking techniques on a copper plate. This detailed and atmospheric print is part of a limited edition of 50, each hand-signed and numbered by the artist.
Deeply inspired by the symbolism of moths, Rhianna’s work explores themes of rebirth, change, transformation, and regeneration. Moths, though creatures of the night, are irresistibly drawn to the light — a metaphor that resonates strongly with the artist's own experiences. Omen captures the beauty and quiet resilience of this journey, where darkness and light coexist.
This piece also represents a period of technical and creative exploration, during which Rhianna expanded her printmaking practice, refining both her process and aesthetic through smaller, carefully crafted works.
Printed with lightfast intaglio etching inks, the image is predominantly black with subtle hints of yellow, adding depth and warmth to the monochrome palette.
