From the Director’s Desk
November 2022 brings an exciting exhibition at fYREGALLERY of 30 works on paper spanning C17th to C21st colour printmaking. Director Cheryl Hannah has assembled some rare, some famous and some wonderfully obscure prints from the collection of Sydney gallerist Josef Lebovic, as well as some from her own collection, to show what an impact colour in printmaking has had over 400 years. From the earliest coloured woodblocks of East Asian printmaking on textiles and paper to the seven-colour digital magic of EPSON SureColorTM that can reproduce 99% of Pantone colours, artists and collectors alike have been beguiled by the power of colour in making works on paper. Limited only by their imagination and the ability of printers to technically innovate, over the past four hundred years, printmakers have traversed lithography, etching, chromolithography, zincography, screen printing, solar etching, offset printing, letterpress printing, rotogravure, typography, inkjet printing, laser printing and photoreal reproduction to list but a few. Today's printmakers are spoiled for choice for colour techniques and effects, but one thing remains the same across the centuries: it is the imagination, heart desire and message of the artist that turns an image into a work of art.
Enjoy!
