Found in Nature: Etchings by Japanese Masterprinter Ando Shinji

#46 Forest Themes
Multiple Plate Etching
16.5 x 10.25"

New Grounds is proud to introduce to New Mexico this extremely accomplished artist. Shinji’s botanical etchings merge Western and Japanese sensibilities. His images often emanate out of a soft shadow into subdued light, giving them a sense of wonder, as if seen unexpectedly in their inherent beauty.

Exhibition dates: September 5 - 27
(Early Bird Preview: September 2 - 19)

Artscrawl Reception: September 19, 5 – 8:00 PM (The artist will be present)

Demonstration during the reception: Shinji will discuss the multi-plate etching process from 6:30 – 7 PM.
