Royal Arcade is from my "Vacancy" series which shows empty commercial buildings. These vacant premises seem to have taken on new, unexpected lives of their own, being occupied with shadows, reflections, new growth or obsolete objects.
The work was created by etching a zinc plate then applying aquatint technique, with a focus on conveying the mood of the scene. Black etching ink was used on a crisp white etching paper.
The printed image measures 12 cm wide by 18.5 cm high.
This is a single print run of 10 prints.
