On December 3rd, 2015, New Grounds Gallery hosted an opening reception for our <a href="http://newgroundsprintshop.com/3rd-international-juried-print-exhibition/" target="_blank">3rd International Juried Print Exhibition</a>, which features work from more than 25 different artists from around the globe. This yearly event always offers an exciting, fresh look at the state of printmaking and is well attended by collectors, art lovers and other printmakers from our local community.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This year's exhibition drew quite a crowd and generated a lot of conversation about different printmaking methods. We are consistently impressed by the talented artists that submit work each year and it's always such a hard jury process. </div>

The International exhibition is an exciting event for Albuquerque, as we're able to present new work to local collectors and art lovers. Some of the participants are globally recognized artists, others have the opportunity to show work for the first time in New Mexico, or in the United States, thanks to the event. The result is a talented array of ideas and techniques, rich in texture and concept.<br />
<br />
We frame a selected piece from each artist, then have additional works on hand for buyers.<br />

This year's group represents Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, South Korea, Japan, Argentina, Netherlands, Italy, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, the United States, and Estonia, Europa. </div>

First Friday, November 6, 2015 marked the artist reception and exhibition opening for <i>Desert (Loss) - Mixed Media </i>prints by <a href="http://newgroundsprintshop.com/ren-adams/" target="_blank">Ren Adams</a>.<br />
<br />
Ren Adams produces richly layered hybrid and mixed media prints, often combining five or six different printmaking techniques, and rarely producing a work with fewer than four layers. Each piece in Desert (Loss) is composed of thin, abstracted and colorful layers of serigraphy, with Akua monotype and image transfer components.<br />

Ren says of the series:<br />
<em style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: 'Open sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; position: relative;">"Desert (Loss)</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> investigates the suspension between loss and distance, through the language of a fractured desert. These remixed landscapes imply the weirdness of the West; vastness and density become memories of memory, mutations of a white-hot encounter. Historian Simon Schama says “landscape is a work of the mind. Its scenery is built up as much from strata of memory as from layers of rock,” just as our own stories and memories are constructed of layered moments."</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Ren remixes a haunting combination of Hollywood-infused desert moments. She says of these landscape 'memory strata'</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">"</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">My strata are flattened, graphic layers, which suggest the way recollection develops a fictional sheen, with pinpoints of lucid detail; certain moments burn and remain. The play between flatness and depth asks what it means to inhabit the space </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: 'Open sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; position: relative;">between</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> memory and experience, where fleeting exchanges flare and dissolve.

During the opening, Ren also gave a demonstration on how she uses serigraphy to create these densely layered images. She showed various different photo screens, printing and also discussed the dynamic, responsive way that she creates overlaps and transparency. Watch for the video on our YouTube channel.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Ren also says about the pieces in this series:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">"In processing a personal sense of dislocation and loss, I am drawn to the landscape of media and television—complex spaces I’ve inhabited in life and through the ambiguity of fact-fiction.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">You might be wondering why there are so few action shots from the evening! In addition to being our main workshop instructor here at New Grounds, she is also our press photographer and videographer, and was too busy running around! We'll add a few more installation and action shots before the show is over. </span><br />

On First Friday, October 2, 2015, New Grounds hosted an exhibition opening for printmaker <a href="http://newgroundsprintshop.com/barrett-krista-american-mixed-media-abstract/" target="_blank">Krista Barrett's</a> newest series - <i>Portals - Mixed Media Prints by Krista Barrett. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
During the opening, Krista provided a fun, multi-plate etching demonstration, where she discussed her inking, registration and printing methods, as well as the playful way that she creates rich monoprints from a selection of plates cut to identical sizes. Krista inks each plate differently each time, then combines them in diverse ways, to create entirely unique 'portals' into new, colorful spaces.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #eeeff1; color: #7b7b7b; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;">Making art is a playful process which allows me to explore my inner world more deeply and encounter the unexpected – both within and beyond myself. As I work, consciously planned elements combine with unconscious, unpredictable lines and shapes. This interaction allows me to explore spontaneity while cultivating structure and purpose.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #eeeff1; border: 0px; color: #7b7b7b; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Combining gravure and etching allows me a greater range of expression. Most of my prints are a combination of etching, gravure, monotype and mixed media. Etching on copper is my favorite technique as it allows me to combine various elements while also reflecting multiple layers and details. I etch lines and textures onto the copper plate using techniques similar to drawing and collage. I then print a working proof, which informs the next step of the process. Ideas emerge about what lines, textures or colors may enhance or develop the image. I repeatedly cycle through this process, refining the plate until the image feels complete.</div>

Art Patronage is not dead!<br />
<br />
Granted, it is hard to find a patron the likes of the Medici family in 15th and 16th century Italy, who commissioned copius works of art from local artisans, and the U.S. lags way behind in supporting the arts compared to European countries, but there are exceptions.<br />
<br />
Karl Whitaker, an avid print collector, is in the process of commissioning 30 prints by 30 contemporary southwest artists. The collection will tour as a traveling exhibition when complete.<br />
<br />
New Grounds was fortunate enough to be chosen to print a work by Tucson artist Ruben Urrea Moreno, as part of Whitaker's project. The large-scale woodcut was editioned in September by New Grounds master printer Ren Adams.<br />
<br />
New Grounds provides <a href="http://newgroundsprintshop.com/press-rental/" target="_blank">custom printing services</a> to artists, curators and patrons of the arts, and we often have a master printer working on an edition or series in our main studio. It's one of the many services New Grounds offers and our custom printers are respected and skilled across various printmaking techniques, including etching, gravure, relief and serigraphy (among others!).<br />
<br />
If you're interested in having pieces printed at New Grounds, <a href="http://newgroundsprintshop.com/contact-us-and-other-links/" target="_blank">don't hesitate to contact us </a>to discuss options!<br />
<br />
Whitaker's commissioned project is impressive! You can read more about the piece printed at New Grounds (and about the project's larger vision at: <a href="http://deserttriangle.blogspot.com/2015/09/ruben-urrea-moreno.html?spref=bl">Desert Triangle Print Carpeta: Ruben Urrea Moreno</a>).<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">During the exhibition opening, Brian provided a live demonstration of his dry point techniques, plus details on his process, his combination of various traditional and non-traditional approaches to etching, and his creative use of fascinating tools to produce his fresh, figurative works. Best of all, Brian goes into detail about why he draws and the idea behind his sensitive portraiture.</span><br />

Stephen
Lawlor’s etchings reflect the history of western painting as a subject in
itself but also include the natural world through the same filter. Lawlor’s
images are evocative of abstracted ‘actual landscapes’, both of which have a
definite relationship with a pre-photographic sensibility.</div>

<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">All of the pieces in <i>Ephemera</i><i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i></span>are multiple plate etchings with spit-bite aquatint. Painting with
acid onto the plate creates their fluidity of form and delicate tonal ranges.
The master plate is drawn on hard ground with an etching needle that leaps and
jerks all over the plate. This convulsive line creates tension and adds
character to the dreamlike quality. They draw the viewer back in time and hold
the attention by submerging the subject within these lines, forms and random
marks which are unique to etching. Most of the works<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a> employ
the use of four plates but some as few as two. The process of drawing, biting
and proofing is physical and intense and requires a persistence and stamina
which has been developed over many years.</div>

Ethereal, poetic, spiritual, luminous, ambiguous, otherworldly, sensitive, intimate and diffuse are words that have been used to describe these etchings. The complexity of the overlapping layers of tone and colour the artist uses has no parallel in the mainstream within contemporary printmaking which adds to their unique strength.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On August 7th, 2015 (First Friday) we held an exhibition opening and artist reception for our latest show, <i>Body and Movement - Etchings by Brian Giza. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
A master draftsman, portrait
and figurative artist,<a href="http://newgroundsprintshop.com/brian-giza/" target="_blank"> Brian Giza</a> can be found at ballet studios busily
sketching the dancers as they put on their shoes, stretch and rehearse. He
often works on the copper plates directly rather than sketching on paper first.
An accomplished thespian and professor at UTEP, every moment in his life not
teaching or performing Shakespeare is dedicated to making art. Giza’s dancers
come very close in skill and expression to those of Manet.<br />

Brian Giza also gave an excellent, live printmaking demonstration on the way he develops images on copper plates, inking and printing. Giza is fond of combining different kinds of intaglio approaches on the same individual plate surface, and he frequently returns to the same plates to continue developing the image over time.</div>

Fransisco Valenzuela uses the
principle of duo tone by printing two plates, almost alike, and almost in the
same hue, with the first one light and the second plate saturated. The result
is a richer finality than printing the same plate once, bringing his world to
life. <o:p></o:p></div>

It is
important to understand that gravure is not a means of reproducing existing
photographs or drawings. Photographs that
will become the base for the photo etching usually need to be shot and
developed differently than for photographic prints. The advantage of photo
etching is its flexibility, which allows artists from varied backgrounds such
as photography, computer graphics, and drawing to create hand printed limited
editions. There is no limit to color, plates can be wiped in any one ink,
several plates can be printed on top of each other, subtle shading can be
achieved with selective wiping or chine collé, and gravure can be combined with
any other printmaking techniques. The limit is the artist’s imagination. <o:p></o:p><br />

While
in <b>photography</b> a negative is exposed
directly to light-sensitive paper, in <b>photogravure</b>
the image is exposed to a light-sensitive plate from which the image is then
hand-printed on paper using an etching press. It is this particular detail that
places gravure into the realm of printmaking. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Photogravure </b>– which precedes
photography - was revived in the mid-90s with the introduction of safer,
light-sensitive polymer films and plates adapted from the circuit board
industry. The image is generated by exposing a <i>photo positive</i> to a photo polymer plate via a high powered light.
Usually, artists need to do extensive testing to determine the exact exposing
time for each image. The exposed plate is developed in water and can be printed
almost immediately.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First Friday, June 5 marked our latest print exhibition opening: <i>One of a Kind - Monotype/Monoprint</i>, which featured lush new work by a diverse group of New Grounds artists, including: <a href="http://newgroundsprintshop.com/pamela-wesolek-page-1/" target="_blank">Pamela Wesolek</a>, <a href="http://newgroundsprintshop.com/sundstrom-mary/" target="_blank">Mary Sundstrom </a>(Local Treasure), <a href="http://newgroundsprintshop.com/noyes-dan/" target="_blank">Dan Noyes</a>, <a href="http://newgroundsprintshop.com/shirley-levy/" target="_blank">Shirley Levy</a>, <a href="http://newgroundsprintshop.com/bruce-carpenter/" target="_blank">Bruce Carpenter</a>, <a href="http://newgroundsprintshop.com/ren-adams/" target="_blank">Ren Adams</a>, <a href="http://newgroundsprintshop.com/tristani-jorge/" target="_blank">Jorge Tristani</a>, <a href="http://newgroundsprintshop.com/jessica-krichels/" target="_blank">Jessica Krichels</a>, <a href="http://newgroundsprintshop.com/anderson-sarah/" target="_blank">Sarah Anderson</a>, Elaine Soto, <a href="http://newgroundsprintshop.com/barrett-krista-american-mixed-media-abstract/" target="_blank">Krista Barrett</a> and Kendall Murakami.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Monotypes are often confused with monoprints although both of these processes are very different from each other. Monoprints are printed from plates which contain permanent information and theoretically can be repeated and editioned. Monotypes, invented by the French Impressionists, are unique images created from blank plates where the image consists entirely of ink which has been added, removed, or otherwise manipulated on the plate. The results are spontaneous, gestural and very painterly one-of-a-kind works of art which fall into the printing category because the image has been transferred from a printing matrix to paper using a printing press. Given those parameters, there are as many different looks to monotypes as there are artists. This show of monotypes and monoprints by New Grounds members intends to demystify the difference between these two different animals once and for all.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">My name is Shelby and I
am an intern at New Grounds. Every week I come and help out with the daily
happenings around the gallery such as cleaning, paperwork, hanging, etc. Last
night was the double opening for the New Grounds exhibit “One of a Kind-Monotype/Monoprint
Exhibition” and “Touch/Tone” in Matrix. The exhibition in New Grounds
highlighted monotypes and monoprints to demonstrate the individuality of these
types of printmaking. The turnout was good with people staying for long periods
of time to observe the work on display. I appreciated the vastly different
styles of all the monoprint and monotype artists that were on exhibit. One of
the highlights of the night was the demonstration by Mary Sundstrom which
explained the difference between these two types of printmaking through a
monoprint and a monotype of eggplants. A monoprint is made with a matrix that
can be reused however not to produce identical results. A monotype is made with
no permanent marks on the matrix so that the piece and the matrix are
completely unique. This was an educational experience not only for me but I
think for many of the others who came to the opening. The conversation around
the pieces was centered on the technique used and also the variety of different
styles between the artists. In my opinion the opening was a success because it
not only exhibiting different styles but also educated on the differences in
monotypes and monoprints. The “Touch/Tone” exhibit in Matrix was also very
interesting because William Ruller, Susan Reid, and Saul Hoffman addressed
texture and color in very different ways. Many people were drawn to this
exhibit because the pieces were unique in the way they tackled texture through
their technique. The bold colors and unusual textures were very appealing to
the audience that came last night. The double opening at New Grounds and Matrix
was very successful and I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibits.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
Our videos are getting fancier (and more informative!).<br />
<br />
We're excited to announce that we've updated <a href="http://newgroundsprintshop.com/wayne-chinander/" target="_blank">Wayne Chinander</a>'s demo video from <i>The Cutting Edge </i>exhibition opening. During the reception, Wayne provided a multi-plate printing demonstration, which included a glimpse of his inking, registration and printing techniques. We caught live video of Wayne in action that night, and we turned that raw material into a newly updated video for our YouTube channel.<br />
<br />
We combined all the separate parts, added commentary and close-ups of the prints Wayne was working on--and we've even added a little splash of tango music by local talent <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.qtango.com%2F&ei=UR5mVYPpAsbNsAW7hICoBg&usg=AFQjCNGQCJpn1usMIJPcwxAYwbVhjJPYuw&sig2=lo3kuwdMISwhgeGleFOQOg&bvm=bv.93990622,d.b2w" target="_blank">Q Tango</a>!<br />
<br />
Expect great things from our future demo videos, too. We're planning to create nice, educational (and snazzy) video footage for each of our demonstrations and we may even give new polish to some of our classic videos. We hope our new and improved video footage will inspire, motivate and inform.<br />

New Grounds artist <a href="http://newgroundsprintshop.com/ren-adams/" target="_blank">Ren Adams</a> is featured in an exhibition review of work we presented at the Affordable Art Fair in New York this spring.<br />
<br />
Blogger Christie Scheele describes the fluid layers in Adams' work: <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"It strikes me that these layered prints explore space beautifully.
Within a relatively shallow space, the elements occupy varying depths
and push against the edges of the paper, creating movement both outward
from the sides of the picture plane as well as back behind it."</blockquote>
<br />
You can read Scheele's full review here:<br /><a href="https://scheeleart.wordpress.com/2015/04/12/a-review-of-the-affordable-art-fair-in-nyc/">https://scheeleart.wordpress.com/2015/04/12/a-review-of-the-affordable-art-fair-in-nyc/</a><br />
<br />
Ren is also one of our instructors! If you're interested in learning some of her layered and hybrid printmaking techniques, keep your eyes peeled for <a href="http://newgroundsprintshop.com/classes/" target="_blank">upcoming summer classes. </a><br />

<br />
<b>Wayne Chinander</b>’s multi-plate relief prints capture the fleeting moment of a place in time. Relief printing enables him to capture the sharp juxtaposition of light and shadow. With relief prints the non-image elements are carved away so that the remaining surface area prints the positive image. Chinander’s first relief prints were single plate, black and white images. As he became more interested in color and landscapes in particular, he explored working with multiple plates which were inked in separate colors and then layered to build up the image. The biggest challenge with this approach is registration which turned out to be a much steeper learning curve than Chinander anticipated. One of New Grounds former interns, Manuel Lau, was instrumental in helping Chinander get his printing problems worked out.

<b>Tanya Landin </b>has
been New Grounds’ gallery assistant for six years and counting. Freshly
graduated with her BFA, and with some technical help by Manuel Lau -
the same intern who assisted Wayne Chinander - she finally completed
this body of work which was started a little while ago. Originally,
these images were about the continuance of life, but they transpired to
become an metaphor for her life, recent life changes and all the
emotions that accompany it. Her imagery incorporates the female form,
the moon, feathers, and trees. This body of work evokes a sense of peace
within the multitude of layers. Combining and expanding on printmaking
techniques such as relief, monotype, and gravure opened up Landin’s art
to a whole new level.<br />

<b>Mauel Lau, </b>born in Peru to Chinese parents and now a Canadian resident, was such a person. A traveler of the world, Lau pursues a full-time artist career through grants, residencies and internships. He spend a three month internship at New Grounds “to learn and to share” and so he did! In addition to his intern duties he created about 30 editions of carved soapstone relief prints, and he was instrumental in helping Chinander and Landin in creating the work for this exhibition. Lau’s whimsical and figurative images are as much a traveler’s log as they are an expression of his gentle, astute and humorous spirit.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">If you have a sweet tooth for symbolism and surrealism, and a weakness for Bruegel, Ensor, Chirico, Magritte, and the other sly fabulists of Old Europe, then David Avery’s enchanted etchings will restore your soul. Although Avery’s highly detailed etchings are inspired by myths, literature, and fairy tales, he is a master at spinning his own stories. His images reveal layer upon layer of symbolism and meaning. His work is a feast for the eye and a celebration of the etching medium. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Perpetua","serif";">Visitors came
to the New Grounds Printshop’s latest opening reception to view two new shows.
“Three Mexican Masters in Printmaking,” featuring colorful etchings, and
“Subtle Imprints” a multimedia show, received an admiring viewership. The
artworks, along with a demonstration of Intaglio printmaking techniques by Regina
Held, held viewers in fascination.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Perpetua, serif;">This past Friday New Grounds had yet another successful gallery opening. Showcasing three Mexican artists in New Grounds Gallery, while also showcasing two local artists Elizabeth Fritszche and Marilyn Dillard in Matrix Fine Art. People from all over New Mexico came to support and enjoy both local and international fine art. The founder and director, Regina Held, gave a quick yet informative demo on the process of etching. It is important to share the knowledge to our community to preserve the techniques of printmaking. At New Grounds we are eager to share and engage Albuquerque in our printmaking community! Stay tuned for our next opening and weekend workshops!</span></div>

Ray Maseman heralded in Heroes, Saints, and Expeditions on
the first Friday of February. The show, which runs through the end of the
month, is the loyal artist’s ninth at New Grounds. Maseman’s newest collection
of multiple plate etchings portrays lingering “meditations on existential
questions of purpose, home, and the burdens and responsibilities of adulthood,”
he explains in his artist statement. This existentialism is depicted through a lighthearted
collection of animal characters engaged in a variety of brave odysseys and
industrious undertakings. A cavalry of
carpenter penguins forges onward with their rulers, hammers, and saws. A
contemplative ram and potted tree are adrift in a wooden boat. The characters’
activities are often set in vast ocean scenes, inspired by Maseman’s
residencies afar in the Faroe Islands (an archipelago located between Iceland
and Norway and north of Scotland) during the past two summers. Other scenes
play out in desolate, jagged, ochre environments - an indirect reference to the
New Mexico landscape. </div>
