Engravelled Gold Leaf
The Artist
Jean-Philippe Rigotti was born in 1970 in Savoie. He devoted himself to a discipline invented by his grandfather in the mid-1970s: engraving on 23.6 carat gold leaf.
With a desire to achieve a realism that enriches the original beauty, he takes inspiration from photographs. He deconstructs to then brilliantly recompose in a three-dimensionality that will stir up even more emotion. It elates the senses with the striking contrast between the brilliance of gold and the depth of blacks.
Although his monochrome works are reminiscent of daguerreotypes, his work has been strongly influenced by the emotion of Caravaggio's chiaroscuro and the genius of Pierre Soulages who challenge us with the power of blacks.
It is a technique exclusive to the Artist, who even today is the only one in the world to offer real three-dimensional work on gold leaf, scintillating and delicate works, but intense and of great depth.
Each engraving is allways unique, only one can be produce, the matrix can be used only once

It is for me both a great honour and a privilege to be asked to write the foreword to these two volumes of Aston Martin books covering the period of Aston Martin manufacturing from the DB2 to the DB6. I commend Etienne Dricot and his team on their tremendous, effort, the quality of photography with such attention to detail that makes these particular Aston Martin books very special.
About the author
LEARN MORE...
On the advice of Audoin, I subscribed in the AMOC English Club in 1992. I started to combine my passion for photography with the new one for Aston Martin. During my participation in the numerous events of the club I photographed all the cars met, so far having more than 15.000 pictures in the photo library. It was in 2009 during the Bonham’s auction that in the middle of a chat about the brand's books that the idea arisen to make a book in our turn to share our passion for the brand.
Since then, I have oriented my photo research on specific models to complement my already collection. Ten years later, the first two-volume book covering the years from DB2 to DB6 is now available for sale.
