| MAY: Thoughts on Place – Monotypes and Gravure by Katharine NoeKathe Noe’s softly hued semi-abstract monotypes and gravure prints seek to transform the poetry of her dream journal into a visual representation of her journey in life. Noe has travelled widely and there is an undeniable Asian influence in her work. Her images are richly layered and organic yet elegant and immediate. This is her first solo show at New Grounds Gallery.
Exhibition dates: May 4 – June 9, 2012 Early Bird Preview: May 1 – 4 First Friday Artscrawl Reception: May 4, 5 –8:00 PM. Demonstration: Kathe Noe will demonstrate the monotype process from 6:30 –7 PM during the reception. |

| JUNE:Gravure – The Chameleon of Printmaking – A Group ShowPhotogravure is the perfect marriage of photography and printmaking. Rather than exposing negatives to photographic paper, in gravure the image is exposed to a light-sensitive plate which is then developed and can be printed like an etching. Older than photography, it had its heyday during the days of Ansel Adams. It has been revived in the first days of the 21stcentury with the availability of plates that can be developed in water rather than using toxic chemicals. New Grounds Print Workshop has trained many artists in this medium. This show will highlight the amazing flexibility of the gravure print by featuring very traditional photographic images to those that look like lithographs and images with qualities of both. Participating artists: Adabel Allen, Aaron Bass, Mary Sundstrom, Jorge Tristani, Rob Thalmann, Denise Weaver-Ross and Jessica Weybright.
Exhibition dates: June 15 to July 28, 2012 Early Bird Preview: June 12 – 15 Route 66 Artscrawl Reception: June 15, 5 –8:00 PM. Demonstration: Aaron Bass will demonstrate the gravure process from 6:30 –7 PM during the reception |
