Chicago Printmakers Collaborative
Presents:
Danse Macabre: Death and the Printer
Phineas X. Jones, "Death and the Screenprinter", Screenprint
|
Sept 15 - Nov 3, 2012
Reception and Open House: Saturday, October 6, 2012 Reception: 5-7pm Open House: 12-5pm
In a nod to the earliest depiction of a print shop appearing in a printed image, The Chicago Printmakers Collaborative show, Danse Macabre: Death and the Printer, is showcasing work by Chicago-area artists dealing with the universality of death and how they perceive it. No matter what one's station in life, the Danse Macabre
unites all. Come celebrate life, death and the printmaker's historically-inspired, yet contemporary expression of printed matter within this artistic genre.  Kim Laurel "Trick Ride with the Thin White Sister" Monoprint and Collage
CPC will be hosting an Open house/Demo on the day of the Opening reception called Woodblock X Woodblock inviting neighbors, friends and the community to come see resident artists talk about the role of woodcuts/reliefs in depicting imagery related to the Danse Macabre and Day of the Dead. Demonstrations and hands on relief printing to occur concurrently. Death...what a relief!

Drawing class starts this week! But you can still sign up...Plus Fall Screenprinting and Etching classes...
CLASSES: Fall 2012
Hey folks, it's time to go BACK TO SCHOOL, but that doesn't have to mean clunky textbooks and eraser-chucking! It can instead involve CREATIVITY. And IMAGINATION. And INK. Time for YOURSELF, to be nurtured by our wonderful, supportive teachers as you explore the acid bite on a hand-drawn copper plate, or realize your photographic imagery by pushing color through a screen. CPC is very excited to introduce a brand new drawing class this month, which is being taught by much-revered Illustrator-Printmaker Sanya Glisic. See ya'll 'round the shop real soon...

Description: Learn to draw in a fun, encouraging and supportive atmosphere where students strengthen their drawing confidence, observation skills, imagination, and practice. Projects will explore formal elements of art with emphasis on fundamental drawing techniques, including gesture, contour, mark-making, and perspective.
