Deborah Pinter - Natural Selections : A Dresden Creation
Opening Reception: Friday, May 5th from 5:00-10:00pm May 5th - June 18th, 2017 Hearkening back to her 'Scanagram' days, Deborah Pinter's latest printmaking endeavor is proving that she is evolving. Using algraphy - which utilizes a corn-surfaced aluminum plate versus using stone - Pinter is able to obtain a richness and depth unlike anything seen before. The focus of the works in this exhibition are from the time periods leading up to, during, and following a five-week residency at the Grafikwerkstatt Dresden Studios in Dresden, Germany. Photographer and Printmaker Deborah Pinter was the latest recipient of Zygote Press’ five week-long Dresden Exchange Residency. This exchange is the longest-running program not only at Zygote Press, but also in the state of Ohio. Funded by the Ohio Arts Council and the City of Dresden, the exchange lets artists from Ohio and Dresden become acquainted with the art and artists of another community, provides time for the artists to explore the printmaking resources available in those communities, and continues to strengthen artistic relationships between both locations. Deborah's work for this exhibition is proudly shared with us through her gallerist Ron Rumford and his gallery Dolan Maxwell. |
