Printing Marks and Codes / Printing Design International Invitation Exhibition

Posted on November 17, 2015 by printerbird

I was honoured to have been invited to participate in Printing Marks and Codes/Printing Design International Invitation Exhibition at the Printmaking Department at the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. The exhibition opened on November 14th and will run until the end of the month. I have many fond memories of Chongqing and my time there in 2011. The city is large, bright, and busy and sits at the intersection of two major rivers: the Yangzee and the Jialing.

Dream City, Dreams

Posted on August 29, 2015 by printerbird

I recently returned from a trip overseas to Belgrade, Serbia, where I had a solo exhibition of my prints titled Dream City, Dreams at Prodajna Galerija “Beograd”. I had a fantastic experience thanks to the gallery and all the excellent artists I met during my time there. Prior to my opening, I was interviewed for a radio program and a television program. I was thrilled to have the Canadian ambassador to Serbia open my exhibition. Here are some shots from the exhibition. Thank-you to Aleksandar Mladenovic Leka for writing an excellent catalogue essay (follow the link to one of his amazing projects).

New Work (experiments with UV printing on plexiglass)

Posted on July 11, 2015 by printerbird

In late May, I stopped by UBC Kelowna to work on some plexiglass prints using their UV inks and drying system to test adherence and layering. I was pleased with the results and will now plan a series of larger works on plexiglass. Many thanks to Briar Craig for letting me use the studio. Shoot him a line if you want to propose a short residency in the lovely Okanagan valley.
