Exploring the possibilities of gel plate monoprinting.

This exhibition showcases the work of Jennifer Love, Jen Drysdale, Greta Guzek and Kim LaFave, a diverse group of artists who have, in their distinctly individual styles, explored the possibilities of monoprinting using a gel plate as an important element in their artistic process.

The making of a hand-pulled print adds, in its process, an extra excitement to the final artwork. As printmaking undergoes a resurgence in the art world, the boundaries that once defined it have blurred and for many artists, it is a central part of their art practice, no longer a secondary or reproductive activity.

In one area, that of monoprinting, the gel plate is a recent addition to the artist’s toolkit, and is beginning to gain traction as an essentially painterly method that allows for multiple but unique prints from the same plate. Prints may be spontaneously executed with no preliminary sketches, or may involve elaborate planning and careful registration.

The alternatives for creating texture, pattern and shape are endless. The balance between intended and unanticipated results lends an intensity to the mark making, and a freshness to the image printed.
