“Moku Hanga,” the
traditional printmaking technique of Japan,
will be featured in an exhibition by eight woodblock artists living in North America in the College's Burns Arts Atrium Gallery
through Feb. 14.
A gallery talk is scheduled for
Feb. 10, at 11 a.m. with April Vollmer, one of the artists. Other artists are
Suezan Aikins, Takuji Hamanaka, Daniel Heyman, Mike Lyon, Bill Paden, Yasu
Shibata, Keji Shinohara.
This exhibition presents work by
contemporary artists outside Japan,
accomplished artists who cut and print their own blocks to make original
prints.
The work of these artists
demonstrates the possibilities of hanga woodcut as a medium for contemporary
expression. The exhibit explores a “flexible, non-toxic printmaking
process with a historical and cultural connection to Japan and to an exciting period in
world printmaking.”
