Y:ART Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of “The Print Show” featuring Ruth Channing, Tonia Matthews, Suzan Rouse, Alan Grabelsky, and Richard Hellman. The Opening Reception will be held on Saturday, October 27, 2018 from 6-9pm. There will be an Artist Talk on Saturday, November 17 from 4-6pm.

“The Print Show” is a consideration of the printed image. The process for reproducing image and text is nearly 2000 years old and has a diverse formation and background. Throughout its history, printing methods have changed radically from prehistoric cave wall stenciling, early woodblock prints in China, copper etching and stone lithography techniques employed in Europe. Modern techniques have expanded the expressive potential of printmaking as an art form.
Printing, over the centuries, has been seen as a means of sharing knowledge and empowering the masses to a method of control and manipulation. We are exposed to printing everyday, through our daily routine.

For this exhibition, an assortment of printed works will be showcased. Silkscreen, wood block, etching, intaglio, linoleum, monoprint, lithograph, and serigraph will make up some of the print techniques used to create the unique works shown. Many of the participating artists have created works exclusively for this show and Y:ART Gallery.
