Mikio Watanabe has spent nearly fifty years coaxing light out of absolute black. His mezzotint prints render velvety skin, translucent wings, and the grace of the female form with meditative precision. "Du sol au ciel" traces his poetic journey from earth to sky, with live demonstrations of this rare engraving technique.
