Second Workshop with Gary Shinfield and Irena Conomos

December 11, 2017 by sydprint 1 Comment

 

Irena Conomos and Gary Shinfield are holding a second workshop in the Blue Mountains, from Tuesday 16th to Friday the 19th of January. This workshop will be similar to the first.

The basis of this workshop is an immersive experience responding to the environment, climatic conditions and nature in all its manifestations. Your work will be shaped by these experiences and any changes as they unfold.

From this exploration you will work independently developing your own ideas over the period of the workshop, working with two artists with many years experience in their respective fields of printmaking and photography.

Explore the Grose Valley and Blue Mountains National Park through daily excursion and research

Create through printmaking, drawing and photography

Develop your ideas in the studio.

In the workshop you will be working with multiple plates – 3 woodblocks and one piece of lino – to build a composite image or series of images. We will also explore ink painting in the landscape, the transfer of these onto blocks, etching lino, and various methods of multi plate printing.

Printmaking in Malta, from Robyn Smith

December 3, 2017 by sydprint Leave a Comment

Printmaking in Malta is the focus of a new exhibition currently on at the Malta Society of Arts in Valletta.

This annual exhibition promotes local and international artists working in original printmaking.

This year’s edition is the first curated intaglio exhibition to feature established local and international artists, as well as exhibiting original artworks by world-renowned artists such as Marc Chagall, Marino Marini, Victor Pasmore and Julian Trevelyan.

This exhibition is also giving special attention to artworks of Italian master etcher Gianfranco Ferroni, with seven of his works on display.

“This year’s exhibition is a beautiful synthesis of refined versatile works and it breathes an inventive graphic dialogue between international and local artists,” said curator and artist Roderick Camilleri.

These include Pawl Carbonaro, Luciano Micallef, Eman Grima, Austin Camilleri, Robert Zahra, Richard Saliba, John Vassallo, Jesmond Vassallo, Justin Falzon, Raymond Pitrè, Lino Borg, Irene Zammit, Robyn Smith, Daniela Pili, Misaki Oguro, Tomiyuki Sakuta, Caronline Koenders, Youssef Elkahfaï, Olaugh Vethal and Tazi Saad.

“It is an exclusive event where the public can engage with original local and international artworks that have previously never featured together in Malta,” continued Camilleri.

This exhibition is being held at the newly-refurbished galleries at Palazzo de la Salle in Republic Street, Valletta, until Saturday, December 9. Opening hours: Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 7pm, Saturdays from 8.30am-1.30pm. Entrance is free.

My recent work explores the idea of mapping journeys in the surrounding environment, and combining different printmaking techniques.

In the workshop you will be working with multiple plates – 3 woodblocks and one piece of lino – to build a composite image or series of images. We will also explore ink painting in the landscape, the transfer of these onto blocks, etching lino, and various methods of multi plate printing.
