Curator’s Statement

T

his exhibition seeks to explore the concept of “scale” in printmaking. How is work scaled?

The approaches in this exhibition are varied. Some of the artists undertook the technical challenges of printing larger works directly. For others, scaling the works is achieved by printing in multiples and/or assembling pieces.

The 21st century has seen a huge change in the art world’s perception of printmaking as an art form in its own right. The boundaries between painting and sculpture have become blurred and prints now often combine elements of both to create unique “one off ” impressions. Printmaking societies have also evolved, albeit more slowly; but now, adherence to the strict guidelines of acceptable techniques, common even a decade ago, are no longer the standard of judgment.

The technical challenge of producing large printmaking works increases exponentially as the size of the works increase. Printmakers, whist often limited by the size of presses and equipment have always been a tenacious tribe of problem solvers. Experimentation and a willingness to work outside the perceived boundaries in order to get the desired results is often part of our daily experience in the studio and what we live for. Give us a technical problem and we will solve it.

Monumental prints have actually been around for centuries. The 16th century master-printer, Albert Durer, created a massive woodcut, carving nearly 200 separate images, printed onto multiple sheets of paper. When pasted together “The Triumphal Arch of Maximilian I” was over 11 feet high. So, “Scale” is not exactly non-traditional. It is, however, challenging and unexpected.

As curator for this exhibition, I drew from the wide and diverse membership of the Californian Society of Printmakers. I approached not only artists who were already working on a large scale, but also artists who were interested in pushing themselves and their work to create something especially for the exhibition. All of these artists encapsulate the contemporary view that printmaking is equal in concept, size and importance to any other art form. Hopefully this exhibition helps to extend the boundaries of “print” both literally and conceptually.

Susan Belau

“Formation� reflects my continued interest in landscape and memory. Part of an ongoing series developed from drawings and photographs of rocks collected from the Central California Coast, this print simplifies form and color, and transforms the rocks’ strata into geometric shapes, light and shadow. Paper folded, printed, unfolded, and printed again mirrors the natural layering of rock as a physical and visual record of time.

Ellen Heck

Forty Fridas is a series of forty woodcut etchings depicting women and girls dressed up as painter/icon, Frida Kahlo. This project, while in some respects a very intimate collection of personal portraits, touches more broadly on themes of identity, the multiple, individuality and variation. With this portfolio, as with much of my current body of work, I am using the printmaking process to highlight these concepts, which are referenced both in the subject matter and the medium.

Karen Kunc I conceptualize on the energy of the forces that shape the world, and such invisible cycles of nature as weather, migration, erosion, are major content influences. My work captures energy in generative carving of wood blocks for “exuberant” nature-based abstractions, lyrical and poetic, and graphically powerful.

My idiosyncratic language of biomorphic abstraction inevitably refers to the natural world, our precious resources, and the powerful forces that have shaped our environment from eons past, or in a cataclysmic instant, to manmade impact of today, and the scientific revelations and imaginings of the invisible forces that drive all things, included human desire, avarice, our drive for nurturing and destruction. All are part of a ‘sense of place’, from my own local landscapes, to the expansive wonders of the universe.

I reflect on immensities, distances, growth patterns, which wander into meanings of vulnerability, powerful forces, and precarious balances. Such ideas as the translation of information into visually imaginative images intends to tantalize and provoking an awareness of the timeless sense of life’s ebb and flow, revealed in contemplation on ‘what is out there’.

I mean for my work to generate in the viewer a poetic tracking of my observations of the world, my visual inventions with pseudo-scientific or metaphoric concepts, to appreciate the variety and range of expression and skill that transcends the media of woodcut print, but is enhanced by my process and need for printed qualities of richness, material transformation, authority, mystery.

Eileen Macdonald

Basic tools, materials and laborious processes have been at the core of my practice for several years, my primary interest being the physicality of obsessive mark making to manipulate and transform surface. My background in printmaking, specifically mezzotint and etching, led me to experiment with treating paper in the same way that I might treat a copper plate.

My recent work investigates my interest in landscape formation, residue left on landscape, and the practical use and aesthetics of maps. I’m interested in our need to navigate three-dimensional space in two-dimensions. Excavating paper, and the somewhat unpredictable process of pin prick punctures transforms the paper’s surface emphasizing tension and fragility, and deconstructs what we might once have understood as navigable space.

Michelle Murillo In my studio practice I work across traditional and innovative media. I utilize a broad spectrum of processes and materials to expand the vocabulary of printmaking and the multiple in an interdisciplinary context. My work can be broadly understood as archiving: the lost, found, re-membered and collected.

Through this work I seek to create a visual language that expresses the intricacies of memory. Memory connects our past and present, and it is my hypothesis that memory is a narrative of the past that can also function as a compass in the present.

I have referenced film, its structure and formal aesthetics to inform my understanding of how narratives can be expressed. Film employs sound, dialog, and imagery in a temporal format to recount narratives, which poses the question: can filmic aesthetics and methodologies be applied to static visual images to convey facets of memory? Because I have chosen to work within a strictly visual medium the content must be arrived at through formal and structural considerations such as scale and composition. Employing modular formats suggests the fragmentary nature of memory and linear compositions approach the visceral unfolding and retrieval of memory.

Jennifer Tancreto My studio practice is based on collecting, recording, and reconstructing. Collections include natural objects, photographs, journals, atlases, and margin notes. While mostly commonplace, the objects are tactile reminders of experience and place, both personal and social. Directed by the processes of printmaking and drawing, I dissect, recombine, and print over various elements and viewpoints to create new images and objects. The accidents and marks of the studio can be found in the images and they mingle with the found source material. The prints are records reflecting the creative overlap between gathering information and utilizing it, mimicking the dynamic construction of place through experience.

My current collection of prints is related to a genre of Japanese books called meisho zue. Meaning “book of famous places�, the meisho zue functioned as guidebooks to famous places and views throughout Japan. Places were both real and imagined and the books included prints, poetry, lists, and descriptions. The images produced for the books were landscapes intended to describe a place in its entirety and readers to visit and recreate the indicated position. Utilizing the structure and function of the meisho zue form as a model, I visited and photographed a series of views. The views were chosen based on a collection of source material that included photographs, maps, journals, and historical records regarding specific sites associated with two emigrant trails utilized in the early 1850’s to cross into California. From the information I created a series of layered monoprints. http://jentancreto.weebly.com/

Tracy Templeton Much of my early work chronicled the abandoned rural homesteads that characterize the Canadian prairie where I was raised. My images capture the subtle changes wrought by time, the unremarkable gaps between events, and what is left at the end. Memories reemerge as evocative fragments of actuality in the present and invite reflection on the past. Without succumbing to nostalgia or sentiment, remembering, observing, and creating become part of the active production of the work. Throughout my process I ask the question common to any journey: “From here to where?”

My primary medium is photo-etching utilizing digital positives transferred to plates with photopolymer films. I approach my work without any preconceived outcome. The photographs I begin with act mainly as immediate visual records that are manipulated throughout the photo-etching process. During the production I have the opportunity to alter and reduce the photo imagery, simplifying it and simultaneously broadening its’ meaning by drawing attention to the essence of the subject. I adjust the digital image through Photoshop, then draw and scratch into the positive. Once transferred to the plate and etched, I work the image extensively by hand, enabling me to explore the copper’s physicality through material resistance and tactile awareness.

I have discovered that throughout my work, what might be mistaken as technical artificiality, does in fact become the catalyst for the very organic process of seeing and feeling.

Consequently the reworked image reveals the deeper complexities and the profound, but intangible, results of experience.

rc Gallery & Studios was established to showcase and promote emerging and established artists and art organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Since establishing Arc in 2010, the Gallery and Project Gallery have provided exhibition opportunities for over 500 mostly local artists. Our artist studios are the working home for 12 outstanding local artists. Additionally, our complex houses Kearny Street Workshop, a local multi-disciplinary Pan-Asian arts organization and our gallery has hosted numerous exhibitions for local arts organizations. Our goal has been to foster community and to provide an arc between our vibrant Bay Area its communities and Bay Area art enthusiasts, collectors and business communities.

Arc Fine Arts Consulting is a natural extension of those efforts. As consultants, we are uniquely qualified to build bridges between these communities. Collectively, the partners share over fifty years of experience in art galleries, art consulting, art nonprofit volunteering & management, and art-related academic training. Our extensive experience and personal involvement with local art organizations, in particular, has allowed us to build an unrivaled network of relationships with artists here in the San Francisco - Bay Area.

We are blessed with some of the most prestigious art schools in the country. On a per capita basis San Francisco boasts a higher percentage of working artists than any other city in the country. The opportunity for local collectors and businesses to build collections which tap into and support these communities is unparalleled. Arc Fine Arts is singularly dedicated to fostering those connections. http://arc-sf.com http://arcfinearts-sf.com arcstudiossf@gmail.com
