“MonoVariations” California Society of Printmakers Exhibition

“MonoVariations” California Society of Printmakers Exhibition Opening Reception: 7-9PM Saturday, January 13th, 2024 The Monoprint technique offers print artists one of the most basic ways to make an impression with a repeating template, stencil, or stamp, that can be loaded with infinite variation. We have probably all seen images of handprints on a rock. A hand print is a fascinating example because the same stamp will produce a different image every time. A monoprint series pressed from a static matrix has a repeating, and yet always morphing theme. Over multiple prints using the same matrix with different applications patterns arise, and variations may divulge a story. EXHIBITION: January 13 - February 17, 2024 |

JUROR: Michelle Edelman, founder and curator of Tint Gallery, San Francisco, CA
Michelle Edelman, founder and curator of TINT Gallery, is a trained art historian currently based in San Francisco. She received her MA from the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, where she focused her studies on 19th century British art. In her curation style, she is largely influenced by James Abbott McNeil Whistler. Prior to Whistler, Victorians stacked paintings from floor to ceiling, cramming in as much artwork as possible. Whistler changed this by emphasizing the need for each artwork to have breathing space, for the viewer to be able to interact with and focus on one work at a time. Whistler believed that all details in an exhibition could be coordinated in such a way that the exhibition itself would become a work of art. Placement was just as important as content. For Michelle Edelman, this is the role of the curator: to create an exhibition that becomes a work of art in itself. Tint Gallery
