Changing States
Opening Reception
Thursday, March 4, 2010
6:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Exhibit though April 24, 2010
Following the North Star
The title of the exhibit, Changing States refers not only to “state proofs,” the physical change that occurs while establishing a print, but also to the exploration of alteration in the conceptual and visual process. Savage states that “she’s in love with the printmaking process, especially the delightful surprises each state often brings.”
The prints in the exhibit combine numerous printmaking techniques including drypoint, monoprint, collograph and relief. Savage also uses the ancient art of encaustic painting with some of her prints and incorporates social, religious, scientific and mathematical influences in work.
The Language of Nature
Our March/April exhibit, Language of Nature introduced the original prints by Glen Rogers of Mazatlan, Mexico to San Antonio.
Glen Rogers work reflects an investigation into archetypal symbols found in nature and inscribed on ancient stones. She draws from this universal visual language, returning again and again to some of nature's purest forms, such as the spiral, the circle, and the crescent, whose cyclical shapes suggest renewal and regeneration, birth and the cycle of life.
Rogers is an internationally exhibited artist whose work has been shown in the U.S., Australia, England, France, Belgium, Germany, Japan, Mexico, and Singapore.
Glen taught a weekend workshop Variations on the Monotype in conjunction with the exhibition of Rogers prints the Language of Nature. The lively workshop was held Saturday & Sunday, April 4 and 5 drew rave reviews.
Sunshine Cottage School for the Deaf
StoneMetal Press and eleven students from the Sunshine Cottage School for the Deaf collaborated on silkscreen in December. The children had been studying poetry by William Blake as well as the art of photography. Art Director Jim Kane and local deaf printmaking artist Raul Castellanos assisted. Students produced prints from photographs they had taken.
Green
& Brown: Leamon Green and Lenard Brown
StoneMetal Press’ exhibit for Black History Month opened February 5 and continued through February 28. The exhibit featured original prints and mixed media by two African-American artists. Both artists teach at Texas Southern University in Houston. Leamon Green draws his inspiration from a photographic archive from his hometown of Anniston, Alabama. He states “it is a window of an era gone by.” These anonymous portraits allow Green the freedom to imply a history. The content of Lenard Brown’s prints revolves around functional, man-made objects. Brown visualizes these objects as African masks and dance shields. As a result, his works relate Western thinking to African philosophy and Christianity to African mythology.

Violent Thunderstorm Storm Strikes at Kerrville Folk Festival But
Texas-Size Boot Is Made For Walking!
Our Steamroller Printmaking at the Kerrville Folk Festival was halted in May when a violent thunderstorm storm hit the event, Kane was printing 4 foot by 6 foot carved woodcut with oil base ink on cloth, and the two prints from the morning were undamaged. StoneMetal Press Art Director, Kane has developed the production of giant hand-cut prints into an art.
Jim Kane's original 4 foot by 6 foot woodcut print celebrated the rebirth of First Friday Art Walk hanging in the window of the new Lavaca Neighborhood Association offices at 716 South Alamo Street. At the new Lavaca Neighborhood Association Office, Jim Kane’s giant woodcut, “Daddy’s Boot” celebrates putting the “Art Walk” back into the First Friday.

Something Unexpected:
Polymer Photogravures by Deborah Riley
StoneMetal Press’ FotoSeptiembre USA 2009
opens Thursday, August 6, 2009
continues through September 26, 2009
Reception Thursday, September 3, 2009 from 6:00 to 9:00
Deborah Riley utilizes both the principles of darkroom photography and the processes of printmaking. Her prints resemble mezzotints in the delicate balance of value and tone. Riley manipulates the surface of the plates to reconstruct established images in an extraordinary fashion.
Her art is so rich in its tonal range the blacks are dense and appear to have a velvet finish while the whites of the paper contrast beautifully with the perfect exposure ranges Deborah achieves.

Hand-Pulled Prints XIV International
opened at StoneMetal
Press Printmaking Center on May 7 with a reception and gallery talk.
Hand-Pulled Prints was organized sixteen years ago to present the work
of top international printmakers to the San Antonio community, this
biannual competition draws a large number of entries from all over the
world. The premiere event of Fine Art Printmaking Month receives
critical acclaim for its quality and breadth.
Kathy Vargas, juror, states, “Beauty and depth; seriousness of intent and a healthy sense of humor; immersion in the real world and abstraction of that reality: all are deftly commanded by this group of artists”. Vargas has exhibited in Rome, Mexico City, Buenos Aires as well as in a retrospective at the McNay Art Museum and is Chair of the Art Department at the University of the Incarnate Word. The exhibition was from May 1, through June 13, 2009.
Donors and sponsors included City of San Antonio Office of Cultural Affairs, Alternative Ink: Chuck Maurer, Kate Martin & Carl Bohne, Carol Hayman, Melvin D Jordan, James G Lifshutz, Michael McGowan, JoAnn P Wigodsky, John Semple, Isabel Baker, and Dan Welden.
