More than forty members of the MPC Printmakers have inked up their plates, blocks, palettes and brayers to bring you a stunning and thought-provoking collection of new work in this exhibition. This adventurous group of printmakers is experimenting with some of the newest tools and techniques to explore the realm of ink on paper. Don’t miss this opportunity to see some of the finest prints being made anywhere.
Images in this exhibit range from the abstract to the familiar - all addressing the theme, “Kindred.” As interpreted by each artist, included are depictions of connection: within humankind - familial or other; the bond between human and animal; that of living beings with our planet and the universe. Less literal interpretations of "kindred" are also explored.
The art of printmaking has a long history spanning centuries and continents, fascinating collectors worldwide. The Monterey Bay region has a plethora of talented printmakers who have joined together to share technical expertise and encourage each other’s work.
Consisting of both emerging and professional artists, the MPC Printmakers (spawned at Monterey Peninsula College in 2005) has launched a number of ambitious projects in the last several years to advance the understanding and appreciation of printmaking.
