This embossed screenprint by American artist Enrico Embroli reinterprets the myth of Icarus through a tactile, collagraph that blurs the boundary between printmaking and sculpture. Though numbered 5/50, the sheet is labeled unique, suggesting that each impression within the series was treated as an individual variant rather than a uniform edition.
Condition: In good condition overall, with soft handling marks and light wear in the margins. The print itself is in excellent condition. Unframed.
Enrico Embroli (American, b. 1945) is a mixed-media artist known for his integration of sculptural relief into two-dimensional surfaces. Born in Batavia, New York, and later based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Embroli studied at the State University of New York at Buffalo, earning both his B.A. and M.A. in Art Education. After twelve years teaching in secondary and post-secondary institutions, he devoted himself full-time to studio practice, working across painting, sculpture, and printmaking.
His art—marked by complex textures and the interplay of form and material—has been exhibited internationally and is represented in corporate, private, and institutional collections in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The Burchfield Penney Art Center (Buffalo, NY) holds examples of his work.
