The Woods at Dusk

This print was created by multiple reprinting over each other.

 

The Crucifixion

This collage came together over September and October of 2021. These simple basic geometric forms create a bird's eye view of the Crucifixion of Christ. It is an appropriate post for Good Friday.

 

Kandinsky Circles #3

Another fun set of squares and circles. This one was roughly based on primary colors.

 

Kandinsky Circles #2

This set was done the same way as the first set. It was a fun color experiment.

 

Kandinsky Circles #1

After studying Rothko I pick up on Kandinsky. I did 4 sets of these and they were great fun. I picked out six different gel plate prints and cut out six squares and then 3 circles to collages on each square.

 

Silk Scroll

 

I printed directly in the book, collaged a square print over it, then collaged one of my oriental brush pine trees on top. It reminded me of a silk scroll.

Happy Traveler

An oriental brush painting from long ago. I can't remember the source image reference it has been so long ago. But this book seemed like a safe place to hold this happy little guy.

 

Year of the Ox 2021

This is an old suminagashi print that I put in the book to prevent it from getting lost or damaged. But since most of the prints in the Art Mythos III are from 2021 it seemed an appropriate entry. 

 

Off Balance

 

A print with the Rothko influence and a piece of collage from one of my Instax photos.

Open Door

 

untitled

I did a yellow series of prints in the style of Rothko.

 

Fragments

Most years I pick out a couple of artists to study. At the time I did this work I was interested in Rotko's color blockwork. For the past four years, I have been doing printmaking again but placing them in books instead of framing them. Some are prints others are prints combined with collage. Each book spans about one year. But I occasionally go back through a book and add to the images. All are entitled Art Mythos followed by a number. This one is from Art Mythos III. 

 

Pop Corn

 

This week at Making Art Everyday the theme is "at the movies." Monday is Pop Corn.  Not sure if I will keep up with the rest of this week's prompts.
