33rd Bradley International Print & Drawing Exhibition
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Prints, Shows
For those of you who may be in Peoria, IL on March 5th, you can check out the 33rd Bradley International Print & Drawing Exhibition at the Heuser Art Center Gallery in the Contemporary Art Center at Bradley University (there’s an Art Chantry poster exhibit preceding the Bradley International in the same gallery!). The reception will be from 5-7pm. I am excited to be a part of this show because the focus is on experimental prints and drawings. The piece that was accepted into the show is, Jungian Whim (seen here) from 2007, my favorite traditional print that I still continue to get some mileage out of!
Angelus
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Digital, Prints
Here’s a screenprint that I made in 2009 at ETSU under the guidance of Master Printer & Professor Ralph Slatton (read an article on his recent retrospective here). The image below is the vector (digital) art for the actual screenprint that did not come out as well as I had planned. The registration on the screenprint was a little off, that is why I’m showing you the pure, untainted vector art in its stead. Surprisingly, I don’t think I ever gave it a title. If I remember correctly, I believe the inspiration for this screenprint came from a famous Salvador Dali painting, Angelus (also known as Millet’s Architectonic Angelus) from 1933, which I have had an affinity for (and used as inspiration) since my undergraduate days. I enjoy the simple relationship of forms. Dali’s inspiration for this painting (which is evident by its title) is Jean-Francois Millet’s Angelus from 1859 (both of which are pictured below).

K.A.S. Gallery: Black & White Exhibit
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Events, Prints, Shows
And. . . another show! Not a big surprise that I would enter a show titled: Black & White, huh? I will have one piece at the K.A.S. Gallery in Louisville, KY for their Black & White Exhibit which runs from October 29th – December 10th, 2010. I’m very excited about this show because this will be the first time the below piece has ever appeared in an exhibit. It is a monotype etching (intaglio) titled Incoherent Thought-Pattern:
The Morrison School

The Morrison School in Bristol, VA is having an auction! (I do not yet have the exact date and time of the auction, but will post a follow-up once that information becomes available). They will be auctioning off artwork to support their school whose mission is: “. . .prevent attention and learning disabilities from becoming lifelong handicaps that interfere with educational, job, and personal success.” For more information on the Morrison School go here. I have donated the two pieces of artwork you see below. If you are an artist and interested in donating artwork to the Morrison School auction, send an email to morrisonschool@bvunet.net, to the attention of Chandra Morse.

New Gallery Added!

A new gallery has been added! Just click on the Galleries link above (then scroll down to Miscellaneous Artwork) or just click here to view it. The Miscellaneous Artwork gallery contains a several prints and drawings that I kind of forgot about over the past few years. Most of them have only been on exhibit in one or two shows (or not at all!). One of my favorites is Oblivination (from 2007?) pictured below. Oblivination is a series of five framed intaglios with clear & translucent vinyl (thanks Logan!) adhered to the glass.
Remnants of Taurus

Only a few more pieces of artwork from my current exhibition Cohabitants at the William King Museum
left to post!
The piece pictured below is a series of lithographs with a large amount of custom mat cutting (thanks to Betsey-Rose at American Folk Art & Framing for letting me use your robotic mat cutter!). It is titled, Remnants of Taurus (lithography, mat board, and rubylith) and, from what I gather, is the least popular piece I included in the show.
