Remy Giannico: Etching the World of wine

Remy Giannico is one of the most influential wine-minds of current NYC restaurant and import-to-retail markets (think along the lines of most Michelin starred NYC wine programs, and the name Remy will be echoing around in their wine cellars on every day of those 20 case deliveries). It happens that Remy is also a compulsive (and professional) cartographer of worldwide wine regions, and most recently flown over the vineyard's edge, into printmaking by hand - that is, his most creative and inspired maps are most recently evolving into abstracted versions of wine regions and sub-regions of viticulture, which he has hand-etched onto copper plates in a mirrored (reverse) perspective, before being hand-printed to archival paper with heirloom inks (including a chartreuse-adjacent green made from okra!). 

Remy's inks and imagery together, give a sense of having been wafted through a tardis or time-portal of unknown origin. Each plate has been etched with a markedly different sense of abstraction than the previous. Sneak a quick preview via the artist's social media here, and a reel of the event invite, here.
