About Grotto 30/90

This intriguing abstract ink etching was created by the acclaimed American artist Daryl Hughto. A mélange of colours—soft browns, clay, purple, turquoise, lime green, burgundy, black and gray are rendered in detailed organic forms.

In 1984, fourteen artists created artwork as part of an exhibition designed to celebrate the influential Canadian abstract artist Jack Bush. ‘The Heritage of Jack Bush’ was a carefully curated exhibition of work by artists who were inspired, mentored or who worked with Bush. The exhibition toured throughout Quebec and Ontario following Bush’s death. This is one of those pieces. Edition number 30 of 90.

“My job as a painter is to find beauty and awe in unexpected ways and means. Sharing awe is what art is about.” Daryl Leo Hughto

Born in Watertown, New York, Hughto majored in art studies at Suny College in Buffalo, NY. He obtained an MFA at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. He has exhibited throughout North America and in Europe. Hughto’s work is held in prestigious private and public collections including the Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
