David Avery’s highly detailed black and white etchings on copper seek to connect a 400 year old traditional practice with the concerns of our modern predicament. In the past, prints were often used to address contemporary issues of the day, sometimes cloaking a pointed message in the trappings of classical mythological or religious themes. Avery repurposes these themes yet again to invite viewers to make their own connections between the follies of our present day and those of the past. His work has been included in over 200 competitive and invitational exhibits which have occasioned several awards, and he is included in the collections of the Library of Congress, the Fogg Museum at Harvard University, the New York Public Library, the Achenbach Foundation for the Graphic Arts, and the Stanford University Library among others. In addition, his work has been noted in the New York Times, the Boston Globe, and most recently was reviewed in the Washington Post.

I received my BFA from Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, Kansas in 1966 and later my MA from Adams State University, in Alamosa, Colorado. Ever since I pulled my first print in 1962, I have been hooked on the printing process. I work in many forms of printmaking---serigraphy, intaglio, relief, and mono-prints/types. My small editions are known to be colorful and detailed. My work is in several museums, corporate offices, and many private collections throughout the US and Europe. I also teach serigraphy workshops and private lessons.

In my work I like to combine various printmaking techniques, using the plates as a vocabulary to express my inner vision. I find beauty in the structures and textures in my surroundings and look for the magical in the mundane.

I’m interested in people - alone and in groups, especially in public gathering places like fairs, parades, museums, transit stations, beaches, shopping malls.  Initially, I’m attracted to the form of the figures, and the feelings a particular posture evokes or the way a group of people form an abstract organic shape as the edges of their bodies merge into one form.  I’m interested in how individuals place themselves in groups, how they create solitude in multitude.  

I think of my art practice as a collaboration between my creative impulses and the techniques I love so much.  I don’t think I could express myself the way I want to without the intervention of the etched copper plate, or the digitally manipulated drawing.  The process mirrors the content - it’s very much about what we choose to retain, what we let slip away, what we bury, how we build memories and construct narratives.

I love New York City and have been creating work that captures the city, its people and its music.  I grew up in New York City. My dad Albert Pels was a fine artist, my mom was a writer. I was an award winning art director with ad agencies in the city and then in upstate NY where I raised my three amazing children.

When I returned to New York in 2003, I returned to my first love, drawing. I’ve been painting and illustrating since then for the NY Times, Wall Street Journal and numerous other publications and galleries. Jerelle Kraus in her book All the Art That’s Fit to Print (And Some That Wasn’t) says Joan is a gifted quick sketch artist.

I also went back to school (School of Visual Arts) and discovered etching, monoprints and silkscreen printing. Etching is my favorite. I’m always sketching and started to sketch from life on etching plates at concerts and in jazz clubs or adapt my sketches to etching images (so musicians would not be reversed or left handed). I’m very excited that a series of my musician etchings are represented by The Old Print Shop.

Jennifer Farrell, also of the Metropolitan Museum and David Kiehl of the Whitney have selected her works for exhibitions at two international print exhibitions at Manhattan Graphics Center, NYC in the past two years.

Commenting on her work she states: “Combining old techniques with new materials always pushes my work to become more than it has been, clarifying themes I have worked with throughout my professional career. I explore imagery that evokes natural rhythms, generates spiritual references and investigates the ethereal quality of light and atmosphere. I consider the gesture of my hand essential to my work, affirming my concept of printmaking as a fluid, expressive medium.”

Véronique Coutant-Godard is a New York artist born in France.

Her artistic education was acquired in France (Ecole des Beaux Arts), in South Africa (Pottery Studio in Johannesburg) and in the United States (Art Students League in New York City). It spans painting, engraving and design.

Ever since she moved to New York, she has been specializing in printmaking, linoleum cuts, and monotypes.

Her art work is inspired by several experiences she has had, traveling from Europe to Africa, then to North and South America.

She is very receptive to colors, lights and textures, so each time she discovers a new site, she collects and registers all of these sensations in her mind to feed her future work.

Some of her art is currently owned by private collectors in the United States, Switzerland and France. It is also in the collections of the New York Public Library, the New York Art Students League and The Print Club of Albany and National Museum of Printmaking.

She is also represented by The Old Print Shop in New York City.

My work celebrates the extraordinary moments of my life. I seek to capture the truth and beauty of my subjects. Deeply enamored with the ever-changing hues of water, sky and land, I use color for its emotional impact. I have always been especially attracted to water, seeking it out for its restorative powers. On a symbolic level water represents a powerful life-giving force -- a source of replenishment and rejuvenation.
  Some images deal with a particular feeling or emotion I have toward my immediate environment.  Monsieur Blanc n'est pas blanc is a close up view of my very small water garden.  The perfect ecosystem within this one by three foot garden planter mirrored the interconnectedness of the universe.  Likeness of Being is of a Florida heron and his reflection in the water. A trip to Thailand and an interest in Buddhism as well as contemporary Theology evolved into Sab pan yu (Thai for the Enlightened One).

Michael Di Cerbo was born in Paterson, New Jersey in 1947. He attended Pratt Institute where he received a BFA in 1971 and an MFA in 1973. He currently lives in Manhattan and is curator of 20-21st Century Art at The Old Print Shop in New York City. He is represented by The Old Print Shop and the Graphic Studio Gallery Dublin, Ireland. His work is included in the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art; British Museum; Victoria-Albert Museum; National Gallery, Washington D. C.; National Academy of Design, New York Public Library; Brooklyn Museum; and Detroit Institute of Art, among others.

The concrete, steel and glass of the American city are sources of inspiration for Michael Di Cerbo. He has turned his sense of urban grandeur into geometry of forms; patterns of light and dark that allude to the soaring architecture of skyscrapers. One sees the city from the perspective of both ant and eagle, buildings reaching endlessly upward or falling away to infinite chasms below. The images, though devoid of people and any overt sign of life, create an ambiance of mystery. We find ourselves alone in Michael Di Cerbo's compositions as observers of a cityscape that reflects a sense of timelessness.

Receiving his BFA at the Philadelphia College of Art and his MFA at the Tyler School of Art, Joe Essig has received numerous prestigious awards and his work appears in many private and museum collections. “My prints show my relationship to the changing face of the Brooklyn waterfront, where I have worked among a community of artists and factory workers for over twenty years. I am drawn to subjects like the Brooklyn Navy Yard. As I study the area at a particular time of day, I see mysterious countenances stepping out of a different age. My etchings utilize a la poupee inking and interpretive wiping to create abrupt contrasts and atmospheric effects to create dramatic moments.”

Lee Ann lives where she was born and reared, near the shores of Lake MI.  She is the founder of Norris Creek Printmaking Studio and currently teaches at Muskegon Community College.  Lee Ann’s formal art education began at Grand Valley State University, MI (BFA) and at Kendall College of Art and Design, Michigan (MFA).

“I find sanctuary in nature, my most common theme–and the indelible marks of daily life subconsciously come through in my prints.  Occasionally I begin a plate working directly from nature, then resolve it in the studio, attempting to retain the spontaneity and freshness of patterns and textures that lured me out of the studio.  In my other prints one can easily see common objects take on new meaning, a marble that holds a landscape, a worn marble bag that is posturing like a figure.  Once the first mark is made, it becomes a collaboration between myself and the plate.  Layers, surface textures evolve, irregularity and imperfections–like life, eventually find meaning and place.  I work in hand pulled multi-print media techniques of intaglio, woodblock, and lithography.”

Lee Ann’s exhibitions:

She has had prints juried into over 100 International, National, Statewide, and Regional exhibitions, including; 2nd Annual New York Miniature Print Exhibit Manhattan Graphics,NY, NY; 2011, Boston Printmakers North American Print Biennial; The Old Print Shop Gallery, NY, NY;  Art Students League, NY, NY; International Society of Experimental Artists, Florida, California and Wales, England; All Media Exhibition, Ann Arbor, MI; MI Arts All Media, Holland, MI; 86th Regional Exhibition, Muskegon, MI; All Michigan, Muskegon Museum of Art; ArtPrize, Grand Rapids, MI.

Thoughts about my work:

I am an etcher. I draw on plates of copper with a needle of steel. Drawing has a tactile directness that connects the mind and the hand. It is a two-way connection where the drawing evokes thought and thought evokes drawing. An unintentional gesture of the hand can change the concept in a direction that the mind alone would not have traveled.

 Etching on a copper plate is, by its very nature, a process with many steps from its beginning through its completion. It is a process that is well suited to my way of working. I am able to resolve a drawing that evolves as it develops.  Values and forms, can be decided, resolved and executed during the drawing. As I work, the patterns, made from lines, cross lines and stipples become spontaneous. Patterns and values can be built and enhanced by the layering of successive etches. When the plate is inked and printed, the inverted image becomes an entity onto itself; the whole greater than the sum of its parts.

These woodcuts express the abstract geometric shapes and distant configurations of our architecture in the Northeast. Upon the sea waters of estuaries and harbors, mirror the play of interweaving lights and darks of buildings and piers crowned by steeples and mast tops. I am fascinated by the ghostly quality of these buildings looming out of the mists, endowed with strength and endurance.

For me, historic architecture represents a bridge between one life-span into another. Abandoned not by time, but by those who built them, our structures remain and continue to wage war with nature’s elements.

I enjoy carving furrows into cork and hearing the hissing viscosity of ink as I roll it across the block. The sequential & layered nature of printmaking is the perfect means for building my personal grammar. I relish the surprise of pulling a print from the press & discovering that the image & paper have become one. I appreciate the evolving, organic process of bringing my subject to life.

Subjects include diverse flora & fauna or landscapes from home & travels. My prints are conceived to provide a soul sanctuary where the viewer may contemplate the pulse & poetry of nature~ transformational patterns within land, water, & sky. My art is both idealistic & romantic, traveling a trajectory of my personal experience & perspective.

Su-Li Hung was born and educated in Taiwan. She is a printmaker, a painter and a writer. Su-Li has been making her woodcut prints for over forty years. She has won numerous awards, including a number of purchase prizes and gold medals. Her work is in 30 museum collections. These include the Fogg Museum, Library of Congress, British Museum, and Cleveland Museum. She is represented by and has exhibited with The Old Print Shop and June Kelly Gallery. In winning a purchase prize at the Delta Print Exhibition, 2010, juror David Kiehl, curator at the Whitney Museum called her print, “Palm Leaf”; “Noteworthy…, It is the cropping of the image and the sensitivity of her cutting that breathes life into this image.” Su-Li Hung has written 31 books that have been published in Taiwan, including books of poetry, essay, short story and has illustrated children books. Her work can be seen at, http://www.su-lihung.com, http://www.oldprintshop.com,

Sourcing imagery from my native Taiwan, I create images that often have a narrative quality: "Little Girl's world" (2014) tells the story of my granddaughter's poetic existence.

Only using the medium of woodcut in printmaking, I innovate by using contemporary techniques and approaches, combining oil based and water based ink.  "Sunset On George Washington Bridge" (2014), is black oil-based ink on top of pink water-based ink.

I very much like black&white it has a simple, clear, basic woodcut vision. In "Palm Leaf"(2009), the dynamic cutting lines created the little wind in the waving palm leaf; delicate and powerful.

Woodcut for me is like carving a two dimensional woodcut sculpture.

Robert Kipniss is a well-known painter and printmaker, who has been creating art most of his life. His parents were artists and encouraged him to draw at an early age. Independent and stubborn he disliked receiving instruction on how to work. When his mother encouraged him to study at the Art Students League he would only sign up for a class with a model but no instructor. After graduating high school he went to study at Wittenberg College (now university) in Springfield, Ohio. While there he decided to study literature and become a poet. In 1950 he transferred to the University of Iowa to complete his degree in literature, but he also took a painting class.

In 1951, he entered a painting competition in New York City and was awarded his first one-artist show in a 57th Street gallery. In 1967 he made his first prints, which were drypoints. In 1968, he began making lithographs, creating over 400 images between 1968 and 1990. Since 1990 his printmaking has been almost exclusively in intaglio with the majority being mezzotints. Kipniss prints are in over 70 museums worldwide and numerous private collections, and since that first show in 1951 he has had more than 180 one-artist exhibitions. He has been elected to the National Academy in New York and The Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers in London.

He is a member of the National Academy of Design, The Century Association, and the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, London.
