Besteigung des Kerr

1974

2' x 3'1''

Gille developed his own engraving process. A layer of paint is applied to a wooden surface, he engraves his picture in this layer. The resulting relief picks up the ink and produces a print. This technique allows him to work more freely and in a more picturesque way. Sometimes the result is rough, like a diluted oil painting, sometimes velvety, like an elaborate etching.
