An exhibition consisting of a series of serigraphs and a set of paintings comprising a 22 foot mural focusing on the narrative elements and the visual stimuli of this American City.
Serigraphs are not your usual prints. As many as 35 colors are individually pushed through hand cut silk screens onto pure archival rag paper for a very small series of prints. The print run is absolute as all plates and preparation materials are destroyed at the end of the production.
In the printing process, color rebalancing occurs as an intense awareness of the new situations present themselves with all the random chance accidents that can arise with each color pass. Areas that originally called for 10 colors can scream out to be left alone. Many expressionist color harmonies and discords present themselves along the way when least expected.
As with the paintings, the creative process exists to tell the narrative story of man in a modern urban situation. The goal is never to be decorative or at all imitative of a painting. These prints are created solely to express new thoughts about the city using an ink and paper medium.
