New Exhibit - "Think Ink"
New Works By Printmaking Group
The Inkspots of Ventura
By: Stacie Logue
VENTURA, CA (August 13, 2010) - The Inkspots, Ventura County's only fine art printmaking group, will be exhibiting at Gallery 255 in Ventura, California September 2 - 25, 2010.
"Think Ink" will include the works of artists Christina Altfeld, Karen L. Brown, Donna Carver, Judy Gibbs, Virginia Furmanski, Tiger Huang, Lynne Le Tourneau, Leslie Ann Lloyd, Sandra McCullough, Leslie Plimpton, Betsy Quinn, Dahlia Riley and Monica Wiesblott.
Printmaking is the process of making original artworks by running a prepared surface through a printing press. These works of art are not photographic reproductions of a painting, but original works of art in and of them selves. Printmaking techniques fall into four major categories: relief, intaglio, planographic and stencil. Each printmaking technique has its unique qualities. Many of these techniques will be included in the "Think Ink" exhibit: monotype, monoprint, drypoint etching, photopolymer etching, woodcuts, linocuts, and relief work.
In addition to the pieces in the exhibit, the inkspots will offer a folio for sale. The folio, entitled the RED and the BLACK will include a limited edition print by nine of the participating artists.
The reception was held in conjunction with Ventura's 1st Friday on September 3, 2010. Gallery Hours are Thursday, Friday and Saturday 12:00 to 5:00 pm.
About The Inkspots: The Inkspots is a Ventura-based artist collective that officially formed in 2007. This eclectic group of printmakers originally met while taking classes at Ventura College and has since come together to work in a collaborative workshop environment to explore, learn, teach, share and inspire each other through the medium of printmaking. Between them, in 2010, members of the group have shown their work in a total of 91-juried shows. Members of the group have collectors as far ranging as Sweden.
