In conjunction with Central Coast Printmakers, the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art presents Pressing Matters, a juried print exhibition open to artists in California, Oregon, and Washington. The original prints and artists' books will be on view in the Gray Wing from October 7 – November 13, 2016.
This juried exhibition showcases the twin disciplines of fine art original prints and artists’ books. Artists were challenged to utilize traditional printmaking processes to comment on contemporary issues. This compelling amalgamation invites viewers to witness how artists convey substantial social topics. Using serigraphy, letterpress, collagraphy, etching, woodcut, lithography, linocut, drypoint, mezzotint, monoprint, and solar plates, these works are both beautiful and significant.
