LAPS 2014 JURIED MEMBERSHIP EXHIBITION


Friday May 23 to Friday July 3
May 23, 2014 Opening reception 5:00-8:30PM
Join us for the last show at the LA PRINT SPACE of the Los Angeles Printmaking Society. This is a juried membership show presenting work of the varied talents of our accomplished artist members. Work for the show was selected by juror, Judy Chan for this final exhibition at the LA Print Space.
 "Printmaking techniques are tools to create art that is unique to each artist. Old masters, like Rembrandt, made beautiful prints but those same printmaking techniques, and new methods and styles, should be used to express the world we live in today. I want the work to immediately capture my attention, whether it's a powerful visual statement or simply the beauty of the markmaking. There are so many variables today, in the printmaking genre, that it remains an exciting and beautiful art tool."
