WOOD AND INK: WOODBLOCK PRINTS @DASILVA
DaSilva Gallery is excited to announce our upcoming show, "Wood and Ink" Woodblock Prints by Kraig Binkowski. The exhibition will be open from September 14, 2019 until October 5, 2019. Opening reception will be September 14, from 6-8pm. Light refreshments will be served and there is free parking available in the back of the building. Hope to see you there!
"I have been making prints for almost 30 years since pulling my first proof off an ancient Charles Brand etching press in college. Throughout my years of printmaking, I have created imagery that explores the play of light across figures and surfaces. Always concerned with process and the inherent and distinctive qualities of mark-making in etchings and woodcuts, I celebrate the richness of the medium - my woodcuts are recognizably "of wood" and never hide the distinctive beauty of carving into wood.
Some of the universal ideas that weave through my prints are isolation in the urban environment, sadness and tranquillity, and nature's interaction with modern life. In my prints, I'm interested in an honesty of mark making-emphasising the natural qualities of the wood block. The image, the wood, and the tools used to create it live harmoniously within each woodcut and the grain of the wood is always an important partner in the print. I make still, quiet scenes - a greyness pervades, but hopeful notes of light and shadow penetrate the solitude."
