The Black Rain Engravings | 2024

For the first time in over twenty years, Simon Lee Robson’s original intaglio prints are revealed in The Black Rain Engravings, a rare collection offering collectors an extraordinary glimpse into a pivotal moment in the artist’s creative journey.

Origins

Two decades ago, Robson retreated from the pulse of London to the Far East, seeking renewal in solitude. In a hidden atelier, tucked away from view, he immersed himself in the ancient art of intaglio.

Surrounded by copper plates, finely honed tools, and the subtle scent of ink, he dedicated countless hours to engraving visions both sacred and fantastical.

The origins of these prints trace back to Japan, where Robson spent a formative period immersed in the art of traditional intaglio.

Inspiration

Drawing upon the evocative power of Christian iconography, Robson’s exquisitely crafted prints depict scenes such as Daniel in the Lions’ Den, Ezekiel’s Visions, The Apocalyptic Horsemen, and The Last Judgement.

Each line is rendered with devotional precision, yet suffused with the artist’s own dreamlike interpretations, melding tradition with a contemporary, visionary sensibility.

These works, once treasured only by a select circle, remained unseen when the artist returned to England, the original plates now lost or destroyed.

For more than twenty years, the prints remained hidden, glimpsed only by a select few who witnessed their brief appearance.

Reemergence

Now, in collaboration with Arte Delux, these seminal works emerge from archival obscurity. Each intaglio print is hand-signed by Simon Lee Robson, with a strictly limited edition produced from the original plates.

A small number of Artist’s Proofs offer a rare opportunity to acquire variants of these exquisite works, ensuring their place in private collections for generations to come.

Explore the continuation of this collection with The Black Rain Engravings: Part II.
