ABOUT THE EXHIBIT: Three of the artists use the computer,
and four use etching, mezzotint and/or woodblock techniques for
implementing line, color, texture, and space. For each of these
artists the medium is an essential part of the inspiration for their
art, integral to the development of idea, imagery, and
composition.
Each
artist has invented distinctively personal approaches to the art form
of the print. For example, Rolf Weijburg’s etchings “Local
Beauties” span a period from 1996 – 2005. A series of a
dozen small prints display women in their native dress and local
surroundings. Jonathan Bock's "Dances on the Edge" series is
a collaboration with the CSU Fresno "Portable Dance
Troupe", Barbara Nessim’s computer derived artwork
“Ear Ache” and “Tea Leaves” depict universal relationships
between men and women.
