A contemporary painter, Donald Sultan is best known for his use of industrial materials to depict everyday subjects. His work is distinctively textured and equally balances the contrast of positive and negative space.

This work is part of a series of three aquatints of Black Roses, executed by Sultan in December 1989 and published in 1990. In this body of work, the rich, velvety blackness of the medium was essential to the artist’s conception of the whole. Boldly carving smooth, heavy etching paper with sticks of charcoal, he created elemental shapes which are provocatively sensuous.
