Nocturno is an abstract drypoint and aquatint by Christian Bozon, characterized by a dramatic contrast between a dense field of deep blue and a pale, textured ground below. A narrow vertical fissure—rust-toned and irregular—introduces a sense of tension and quiet movement within the composition.

Bozon’s restrained palette and subtle surface variations evoke a nocturnal landscape or geological threshold, balancing serenity with underlying unease. The work reflects his refined command of intaglio techniques and his sensitivity to atmosphere, materiality, and spatial ambiguity.
