This print is from one of two editions of etchings, which were the first Chris Gollon ever made. They were produced by the artist at the Glasgow Print Studio in 1996. This is ‘The Whisper (II)’ an etching with aquatint made whilst working with master printmaker Murray Robertson. The image was concurrent with Gollon’s ‘Road to Narragonia’ series of paintings, some of which were shown at the Glasgow Art Fair in the same year.
‘The Whisper (I)’ was slightly larger, monochrome, and an edition of 50.
