We are pleased to announce the publication of a new lithograph “New Dawn Fades“, by Evan Colbert.

The artist describes this work as follows: “In my lithograph New Dawn Fades, bright colors float through space like particles drifting in the atmosphere, or dust motes illuminated by a beam of light in a dark room. Riding the line between flat and dimensional, some spheres seem to recede, while others come forward as they spill into the frame from an unknown source. I was inspired by the photographic effect bokeh, the aesthetic quality of the blur produced by an out-of-focus image, like car lights and city scenes at night that appear as tangles of overlapping colored circles suspended in darkness.” 

“New Dawn Fades” is a color lithograph, 22 x 30″, printed in an edition of 20, plus proofs.  The print costs $1,200 plus packing and shipping.

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

The artist describes this work as follows: “In the print, I wanted to focus on the positive cultural heritage these refugees bring. There is no need to fear them. Our country will get richer culturally (with art, food, music), and economically (as hard-working people who take jobs Americans don’t want) if they are ever accepted. They take life threatening chances few people would take in search of a better life not unlike the Pilgrims, hence the word Fortune in my title.“

“Travels of Fortune” is a color lithograph, 21 1/2 x 36″, printed in an edition of 25, plus proofs.  The print costs $2,800 plus packing and shipping.

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new lithograph, Wild Garden, by Robert Kushner.

The artist describes this project: “Two years ago, I had the good fortune to be invited to paint in the South of France.  My studio was an abandoned stone barn- no doors, no electricity or water, only a dirt floor.  Outside was a Jardin Sauvage- a nice garden gone to seed.  In it were flowers intimately familiar to me from my childhood in California.  A large painting on canvas resulted.”

Bud and I had been discussing a composition for a new lithograph and he was firm that this painting was the one.  By the end of my time at Shark’s, we had a really wonderful print..Wild Garden.” 

– Robert Kushner

We are pleased to announce the release of a new lithograph: “Night and Branches” by Claire Sherman. She describes her latest work as:

“The dense, tangled, and undulating forms of spaces and plants in Claire Sherman’s recent bodies of work address some of the complicated new environments we are facing, full of both worry and hope.  This new print rides a line between abstraction and representation, coming together as an image while falling apart at the same time, referencing the dark subtle shifts in color of twilight.”

“Night and Branches” is a color lithograph, 40 x 30″, edition of 30 and costs $2600 plus packing and shipping.

We are pleased to announce the release of a new print: “Learning to Fly” by Evan Colbert. He describes his latest work as:

“In my abstract lithograph, “Learning to Fly”, I attempt to create an uncertain sense of depth and scale, as if celestial bodies are hovering in space, or various microbial life forms are floating in a Petri dish.  My intent is for there to be an ambiguity as to which shapes, patterns, and colors recede or come forward, or both, depending on where they are in the composition.  The interplay of vibrant colors and spherical forms is orderly in design, but there is also a sense of motion, as if this is not  static moment in time, but perhaps a glimpse into an alternate universe.”

“Learning to Fly” is a color lithograph, 22¼ x 30″, edition of 20 and costs $1200 plus packing and shipping.

We are pleased to announce the release of a new lithograph: “The Seven Deadly Sins: Sheltering in Place” by Enrique Chagoya. He describes his latest work as:

“My print focuses on current topics with a sense of humor inspired by James Ensor’s version of “The Seven Deadly Sins” as a form of keeping our sanity. I use popular cartoon characters as avatars of a recognizable, now departing, political character, to express with humor some serious issues that may persist beyond any political personality, while keeping in mind big hopes in a more livable future for all”.

“The Seven Deadly Sins: Sheltering in Place” is a color lithograph with collage, 34¼ x 24″, edition of 30 and costs $2800 plus packing and shipping.

We are pleased to announce the release of two new lithographs by Amy Ellingson: Identical/Variation (red, blue, green) and Identical/Variation (red, yellow, blue).

“In early September, 2020, I made my second trip to Shark’s Ink in Lyons, CO. It was wonderful to be invited back to create another pair of lithographs with Bud Shark and his team, especially because we were able to build upon last years experience. This time around, I endeavored to create a pair of prints that I would never be able to execute as paintings, due to the complexity and small-scale detail of the imagery.”

– Amy Ellingson

Identical/Variation (red, blue, green) and Identical/Variation (red, yellow, blue) are each editions of 30, 27¼ x 28½ and cost $2600 plus packing and shipping.

We are pleased to announce the release of two new lithographs by Rodney Carswell: Bloob(?) and Dyad-O.

Rodney describes his recent work as follows:

“My work has often been described as belonging to a category of ‘reductive, geometric abstraction’. In the last decade however, I have been intentionally, slowly reshaping what constitutes my working model to incorporate more surprise and imaginative play. While my work remains what some would call ‘abstract’, image and representation have become more apparent. My lithographs produced with Shark’s Ink are products of this drift.” 

Bloob(?) and Dyad-O are each editions of 20, 30¼ x 30¼ and cost $2400 plus packing and shipping.
