Note:

Attila Richard Lukacs is best known for his intense paintings of skinheads and aggressive male archetypes made during his time in West Germany in the 1980s. His two Arbor etchings made at Open Studio in 1999, relate to his Arbor Vitae series of paintings of dramatic upward views of towering redwood trees – a very different subject matter from his figurative work, but common in their theme of looking to art historical references and traditions, and sharing some aggression in their rendering, with the plate scratched and treated in a variety of ways. Printed by Allen Ash, Tara Cooper and Lorna Livey.

Proceeds to benefit Open Studio, Toronto.
