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.

Oaxaqueño Print Showing at UTEP

Manuel Guerra showed Mexican prints to his printmaking students at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) on March 10th, 2017.  The relief prints, many oversized, were from Oaxaca.  The colorful serigraph prints were pulled by Taller 75 Grados of Mexico City.

We have been impressed by Oaxacan printmakers ever since Krrrl and Tanya Rich both went down to Oaxaca in 2014, when the Desert Triangle was conceived.

When we formed the Desert Triangle Print Carpeta, we were impressed by what the young Oaxacan printmakers were doing, and influenced by the Oaxaca Collective carpeta.  While this was not shown to the UTEP students this time, we did buy both carpetas.

We would also like to thank Nidia Rosales Moreno , who runs Espacio Centro in Oaxaca.  Without her help we would not have many of these beautiful prints from Oaxaca.  She has written about many of these Oaxaca artists before.
