Drawn to the woodcuts prints of late 19th century Edvard Munch (the artist best known for ‘The Scream’), Japanese artist Shiko Munakata and the work of William Blake, John Ryrie has established himself as an adept storyteller through the medium of printmaking. In this petite 1986 print, the artist creates an intriguing impression of a woman gesturing animatedly towards the sky. Throgh Ryrie's artistic lens, she is a figure infused with an intriguing sense of narrative.

Ryrie is an esteemed printmaker. He was awarded the Grand Prize in the Silk Cut Award for Linocut Prints and a finalist in the Geelong acquisitive print awards, and is represented at the National Gallery of Australia. For collectors of contemporary prints and visual storytelling, this work is a compelling discovery.
