Focus on the Masters Discussion

Organized by Mary Galbraith of Focus On The Masters

The Spotlight interview featured the inkspots, our collective made up of area printmakers. 

Member Virginia Furmanski was joined by Bay Hallowell and Inés Monguió in a panel discussion led by Dr. Judy Larson. 

It was a lively and interesting night that explained the many nuances of printmaking to the crowd in attendance.

The Focus on the Masters afterglow followed at Project 643

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."

JUROR
JUDY CHAN is an artist who received the National Endowment for the Arts, Visual Artists Fellowship. She received her MFA in Printmaking from California State University, Long Beach. Ms. Chan has taught Printmaking at CSULB, and at Long Beach City College in Long Beach, CA. She is also known for her mixedmedia, works on paper. She had several solo exhibitions including: Long Beach Museum of Art, Stone Rose Gallery in Long Beach, CA, Rogue Gallery in Medford, OR, Merging One Gallery in Santa Monica, CA, SCA Gallery in Pomona, CA, to name a few. Ms. Chan is in the collection of the Long Beach Museum of Art and the Japanese American National Museum where she currently has her art on display.
