The exhibition brings together a diverse, multi-generational group of artists working in traditional printmaking techniques
ranging from woodcuts to etchings to experimental approaches. All pieces in the show were created by two or more artists working together.
“The main idea for the show is collaborations between printmakers,” said curator Nguyen Ly.
The Exhibition
Fine art printmaking, which repurposes historical, labor-intensive printing processes, lends itself
to a communal approach.
“The painter stands alone at an easel,” noted Lynk Collective member Jared Millar, “while the
printmaker stands shoulder-to-shoulder with other printers.”
During the pandemic, many presses were inaccessible, and that sense of community was
interrupted — but as society has reopened, the Collective has once again united to work on a
portfolio of print projects with titles like Exquisite Corpse, Roots to Crowns and Sky.
In addition to the core Lynk Collective artists, Ly invited printmakers throughout Los Angeles,
Long Beach and Orange County to participate, including Kiyomi Fukui, Francesca Lalanne,
Mono Gráfico Colectivo and others.
A catalog designed by Christina Yasmin Fesmire and Diana Miller will be available.Related link: Mono-gráfico-colectivo (@monograficocolectivo)
