PRINTS BY SOUTHWEST

Prints travel easily. Easily enough to bring in good work from El Paso and Tucson, to reveal what other contemporary artists in our region are thinking. By including printmakers from Albuquerque, the exhibition completes a dusty Bermuda Triangle, a zone of lost love, where a desert artist's best efforts often fall into oblivion -- revisiting the theme of last year's traveling exhibition: the Desert Triangle Print Carpeta. However, in this sequel, the art agitator/collector reaches deeper into the cactus lands, to bring in quality prints from California, Mexico, and the Heart of Texas, to spark dialog, and show how our art and prints compare favorably next to work from the greater region.


This collection of etchings, serigraphs and relief prints, was inspired by (but not confined to) Mexican-American art, and the figurative tradition of the Taller de Gráfica Popular of Mexico. The bulk of the prints were first shown in the Postre Prints exhibition, at the Purple Gallery in downtown El Paso earlier this year.


Hardly the last word on print, hopefully this exhibit will encourage others to create new print shows, which could easily travel throughout the region, in pop-ups, coffee shops, and museums. And provoke our artists to develop new themes and styles, to push Southwestern art into the 21st century. That is the power of the print medium.

Mike Giant, originally from Albuquerque, gave us a print for our exhibition.  On Easter Sunday, April 16th, he was selling prints at Sister Bar in downtown Albuquerque.
