NORTHWEST PRINTMAKERS

 

Simon Fraser Gallery will exhibit a diverse and colourful selection of
prints by the Northwest Printmakers August 5 to August 29 1986.

This group of committed printmakers is part of a growing and disciplined
field in art; one which combines respect for material, technique and

artistic intention. The limited edition prints portray a mixture of
themes and styles and are the result of differing processes - etching aa
stone with acid, cutting woodblock, working with silkscreen and other
printable surfaces. From the intensity of "Jungle" to the precision

and mystery of "Charlie's Nightcrawlers", the prints show a willingness

to state, explore and play, while maintaining a clear grounding in

craft.

With successful exhibitions in Sapporo, Beijing, Portland and San Francisco
the Northwest Printmakers premiere exhibit in Vancouver, is sponsored

by the Metropolitan Arts Commission of Portland, the Oregon Arts
Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts.

The public is invited to view this exhibition at Simon Fraser Gallery
Simon Fraser University.
