Kiss 6 in Emerald

DESCRIPTION

Archival ink on museum-quality cotton rag paper | 2022

In this series of prints, Dana Veraldi portrays variations on a kiss in her signature minimalist style. The New York artist initially set out to create a singular large, involved work. Drawing from Ed Templeton’s book “Teenage Kissers” and Weegee’s “Movie Theater” series, she sketched from photographs of couples kissing. After creating a few drawings, Veraldi grew to love the sketches independently for their simplicity and abstraction. This comes as no surprise, since she’s an admirer of line drawings that renowned artists like Pablo Picasso, David Hockney, and Rembrandt produced as studies for paintings.
