This darkly provocative work is one of Sroka’s earliest work when he was a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, Poland.

Sroka used four separate zinc plates which were then printed together. “In that time, I liked to etch plates with strong acid. It gave me an expressionistic power.”

Trois pour M. (“three for M.”) reflects Sroka’s preoccupation with darker societal themes such as government, human rights, and the politics of sex. This particular work depicts three women each confined to individual spaces, isolated yet seemingly sharing the same experience.

This épreuve d’artistesis rare since most such editions traditionally remain with the artist.
