Prints in Process
October 1 - October 31, 2003
The Parkland Art Gallery featured a new exhibit of contemporary
fine art prints in October. Prints in Process, curated
by master printer
Lawrence Hamlin, demonstrated the range of printmaking media and the importance
of printmaking for the modern artist. The exhibit featured prints from 23 nationally
known artists.
Prints in Process was not simply an educational look at printmaking; it revealed
an
extraordinary collection of artistic talent as well. The imagery and content
of the work varied
as much as the different print techniques used to create them. Many of
the artists are known for their art work in other media; this exhibit showed
how
they bring their own voice and rich ideas to the field of printmaking. Featured
artists included William Allan, John Arbuckle, Rong Bao Zhai, Robert Bechtle,
Thomas Hart Benton, Sandow Birk, Christopher Brown, John Cage, Tony Cragg, Roy
DeForest, Richard Diebenkorn, Lawrence Hamlin, Thomas Huck, Bryan Hunt, Shoichi
Ida, Alex Katz, Sol Le Witt, Tom McKinley, Nathan Oliveira, Lothar Ostenburg,
Pat Steir, Joseph Stashkevetch, Wayne Thiebaud, and Grant Wood.
Prints in Process illustrated the developmental stages that a print goes through.
Hamlin included the working proofs of a fine art print, providing a glimpse
into the creativity behind decisions in the printmaking process. He also represented
the various printing processes artists can use, from traditional woodcuts and
etching to the latest technology of IRIS prints. This focused exploration of
printmaking offered audiences an understanding of the richness of the printmaking
media and the distinctive signature each technique/method has to offer.
The Prints in Process exhibition was made possible with cooperation from
Crown Point Press, Framers Market, Hartz Gallery, Krannert Art Museum, Trillium
Graphics, and Dr. Yu Wang.
