Impressions: A single print created by pressure
About this Event
Last Thursday Artist Reception: June 25, 6 to 9pm.
Featuring two printmakers presenting fresh and original approaches to two traditional but very different printmaking methods.
Angela Morrow’s monotypes employ a printmaking technique that has been around for centuries. This “painterly” print is made by applying printmaking ink onto plexiglass with a brayer. Ink can be removed with rags or various tools, and then more layers can be applied to create a more textured or abstract effect. The plexiglass is run through a printing press, creating one unique print, a truly original piece of art.
During the transfer process, rich textures appear with subtle patterns and depth added to the print. Monotype printmaking is appealing as it offers the artist both control and surprise.
Jimmy Wright’s block prints are drawn, carved, and printed entirely by hand. After the original drawing is transferred to the surface of the block, the image is hand-carved into wood or linoleum with gouges and knives. Ink is applied with a brayer, paper is laid on the block, and each print is hand-burnished. He often uses and blends different ink colors on a single block, creating limited-edition prints that are distinctive and impactful. His unique approach gives new life to an ancient printing process.
