Celebrate modern printmaking at the free opening reception of Ink&Image at Archway Gallery on Saturday, June 6, 2015.
View a collection of prints created by Houston artists, and mingle with the artists themselves, at this Saturday evening opening in Montrose.
Printmaking as a fine art is not the same as “making prints;” mechanical reproductions of artwork through an ink jet printer. Instead of manufacturing duplicates, the artist creates more than one original print from a single original surface or a matrix. Matrices can be made of copper, zinc (etching), stone (lithography), blocks of wood (woodcuts), linoleum (lino cuts), fabric (silk screen), or other materials. The images are then reproduced on paper, fabric, parchment, plastic, or other support surfaces through a process of printing
Some of the most recognizable names in Western art history were fine printmakers, including August Rodin, Edvard Munch, Andy Warhol, Albrecht Dürer and M.C. Escher.
Ink&Image is part of PrintHouston 2015, an annual celebration of printmakers taking place at art galleries around Houston.
