The Centre genevois de gravure contemporaine, in 1985, had exposed several works of young Genevan artists from the School of Visual Arts in Geneva. Without being in the hunt for young talents, the Centre would like to show that etching is still a field of investigation for new formal and conceptual preoccupation. Shigeru Mori, was born in Japan in 1952, student of the engraving workshop of the School of Visual Arts in Geneva since 1985, he works with a traditional technique, particularly spectacular – black aquatint – he uses in a “modern” perspective with reports of abstract and minimal forms.
