Ink, Press, Repeat: A Survey Of Printmaking Techniques
Dec 16, 2021 - Feb 05, 2022
Prints are produced by drawing or carving an image onto a printing surface (the matrix), such as a wood block, metal plate, or lithographic stone. This surface is then inked and the image is transferred to paper by the application of pressure, using either a printing press or various hand tools. The printmaking techniques on view Ink, Press, Repeat can be divided into four major categories: Relief, Intaglio, Planographic, and Stencil. Within these four categories exist a myriad of different printmaking techniques, each with its own unique combination of materials, tools, and processes.In this exhibition, Childs Gallery staff have chosen some of their favorite representations of different printmaking techniques, including aquatint, collagraph, drypoint, engraving, etching, linocut, lithograph, mezzotint, monotype, screenprint, woodcut, and wood engraving, for a survey spanning the history of printmaking from the Renaissance to the present.
