Enrique Chagoya: New Color Lithograph

We are pleased to announce the release of a new color lithograph by Enrique Chagoya, “Life at the Border of Language”.

The artist describes this work as follows:

“In this print, a geographic/physical border, such as the US/Mexico border wall, is a symbol of many other walls that exist between people. These other walls may be less obvious (like gender, class, ethnic, religious, and national origin stereotypes, among others), but as real as the physical ones. Yet, we are all one human species, despite our external differences. We realize this when we decide to cross over any border. The experience of crossing expands what language (visual or phonetic) can explain only in a limited way. Among the characters lining the wall in my print, the child represents an innocent mind still free of misrepresentations. Ancient line drawings between the portraits portray how pre-Columbian people represented themselves.”

“Life at the Border of Language” is a color lithograph, edition of 25 plus proofs, 21 1/2 x 36″ and costs $2,800 plus packing and shipping.

Ana Maria Hernando: New Color Lithograph

We are pleased to announce the release of a new color lithograph by Ana Maria Hernando, “Cuando la luna y el cielo hablan de flores / When the Moon and the Sky Talk About Flowers”.

The artist describes this work as follows:

“I paint and draw flowers, not only out of mesmerized wonder for their presence on earth, but also as a rebellion against the labels of “decorative”, “inconsequential” and “superficial” that have been equated historically to the art of women.

The title for Cuando la luna y el cielo hablan de flores / When the Moon and the Sky talk About Flowers, is an invitation to wonder about the desires, views, and preoccupations of others -in this case the moon and the sky in conversation about flowers, that might incite a gesture of curiosity not only towards flowers, but towards the moon and the sky too.  In this work I contemplate and celebrate the flower as worthy recipient of the attention from the celestial powers.”

“Cuando la luna y el cielo hablan de flores / When the Moon and the Sky Talk About Flowers” is a color lithograph with cut outs, edition of 25 plus proofs, 44 1/4 x 30″ and costs $2,800 plus packing and shipping.

Claire Sherman: New Color Lithograph

We are pleased to announce the release of a new color lithograph by Claire Sherman, “Cave”.

The artist describes this work as follows:

“My paintings and prints propel the viewer into an unstable world through a perspective that shimmies between representation and abstraction. I address the ubiquity of imagery we associate with the genre of landscape, nullifying a sense of particularity. This lithograph references the claustrophobic space of a cave, coming together as an image while falling apart at the same time.”

“Cave” is a color lithograph, edition of 25 plus proofs, 30 x 26″ and costs $2,400 plus packing and shipping.

Kara Maria: New Color Lithograph

We are pleased to announce the release of a new lithograph by Kara Maria, “Under Simple Stars (Great Basin silverspot butterfly)”.

The artist describes this work as follows:

“The impact of species loss is a deep concern that informs the ideas behind my artwork. I paint carefully rendered miniature portraits of endangered animals into larger compositions to raise questions about Earth’s biodiversity crisis and the place of wildlife within increasingly unstable habitats.

This lithograph includes an image of a female Great Basin silverspot butterfly whose populations are in decline mainly due to habitat loss. Swirling and exploding shapes, bright colors, and unlikely spatial relationships illustrate how our progressively chaotic environment displaces fauna and the systems that support it.”

“Under Simple Stars (Great Basin silverspot butterfly)” is a color lithograph, edition of 15 plus proofs, 30 x 22″ and costs $1,600 plus packing and shipping.

Rodney Carswell: New Lithographs

We are pleased to announce the release of two new lithographs by Rodney Carswell: “rodo” and “yo (jr.)”.

rodoyo (jr.)

The artist describes these works as follows: “yo (jr.)” and “rodo”, depict avatar like figures set in an animated, virtual space. Each central character, accompanied by secondary elements of figure and space, may create a sense or question of “actor” and “circumstance”.

“rodo” is a color lithograph with cut outs, edition of 18 plus proofs, 30 x 31 1/2″ and costs $2600 plus packaging and shipping. “yo (jr.)” is a color lithograph with cut out, edition of 20 plus proofs, 22 1/4 x 23 1/2″ and costs $2200 plus packing and shipping.

Evan Colbert: New Lithographs

We are pleased to announce the release of two new lithographs by Evan Colbert: “In Between Days” and “A Question of Time”.

“In Between Days”“A Question of Time”

The artist describes these works as follows: My lithographs “In Between Days” and “A Question of Time” are based on a series of monotypes I have created over the past couple years. In the monotypes I layer color fields, forms, patterns, and arrays of dots or other shapes onto dozens of sheets of paper in a process somewhat like sketching.

“In Between Days” and “A Question of Time” are each color lithographs, editions of 20 plus proofs, 22 1/4 x 30″ and cost $1200 plus packing and shipping.

Terry Maker: New Color Lithograph

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new lithograph “Field Lines (copper)” by Terry Maker.

The artist describes her work as follows: “My Field Lines body of work is inspired by the electromagnetic lines depicted in scientific and mathematical literature. I am intrigued by the push and pull of energy and its sensory attraction-and-repulsion aesthetic in everything from particle physics to personal and cultural dynamics.

“Field Lines (copper)“ is a color lithograph, 30 1/2 x 30 1/4″, printed in an edition of 25, plus proofs. The print costs $2,600 plus packing and shipping.

Barbara Takenaga: New Monotypes

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new series of Untitled hand-colored monotypes by Barbara Takenaga.

The artist describes this series as follows: “Making these monotypes was a wonderful new experience for me. They combine a painterly, abstract background with a graphic structure of hard edged, flat forms. Those dark shapes can be read as either positive/foreground space (body silhouettes or curtains) or as negative space that frames a central image (landscapes, columns, creatures). Similarly, the white lines and dots can be viewed as stylized rain, snow, springs and fountains or beaded curtains. .”

“Untitled I” is a hand-colored monotype, 22 x 26″. The print costs $3,200 plus packing and shipping.

Enrique Chagoya: New Lithograph

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new lithograph, “Codex YTREBIL”, by Enrique Chagoya.

The artist describes this work as follows: “Codex YTREBIL (liberty backwards), is based on a series of small books by anonymous Indigenous artists in the XVI Century known as Testeriano codices.”

“Codex YTREBIL” is a color lithograph, 31 x 30″, printed in an edition of 25, plus proofs.  The print costs $3,000 plus packing and shipping.

Terry Maker: New Lithograph

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new lithograph “Drawn From Dust” by Terry Maker.

The artist describes her work as follows: “I explore the process of art making while addressing themes relating to human desire and decay, death and resurrection, mundane and sacred and mark-making–both literal and figurative. The revealed surfaces present the viewer with a visual puzzle, made even stranger by its unique visual vocabulary, that opens the possibility of new connections, and new perspectives.

“Drawn From Dust“ is a color lithograph, 30 1/2 x 30 1/4″, printed in an edition of 25, plus proofs. The print costs $2,600 plus packing and shipping.
