Printmaking Exhibitions

Exhibitions listed in chronological order of Reception Date.

Knowledge is power. Since the early days of printing, the press helped disseminate knowledge broadly. Today, printmakers often utilize the power of the multiple to critically confront contemporary social issues. Pressing For Change celebrates the ways that printmakers provide an accessible voice for change. Through a variety of approaches, the artists in this exhibition investigate the relationships of community, land, and the environment. CVA opens Pressing for Change in conjunction with 2024’s Mo’Print.

Artists: Emily Arthur, Adriana Barrios, Juana Estrada Hernandez, Diane Fine & Mario Laplante, Susan Goethel Campbell, John Hitchcock, Karen Kunc, Raymundo Muñoz, and Favianna Rodriguez.

On view January 5 through March 23, 2024.

Having immigrated to the United States at a young age, I didn’t feel attached to Vietnam, yet felt like an outsider in my new “home.” In my work, I create liminal spaces, a state of in-between-ness and ambiguity that encourages transition, through fictitious landscapes to explore the reconstruction of cultural identity filtered by memories and feelings of displacement and isolation.

Using silhouettes from found vessels as a framing device, I create a visual language that fuses these two worlds, creating a space called Nowhere. Existing between dream and reality, mind and matter. Nowhere started with the concept "not from here, nor from there" and is a collection of mind maps, with symbols and memories nested within one another, a mix of old and new. The commentary focuses on consumerism, constructions of cultural identity and my reflections on contemporary events.

Celebrate our region’s talents and creativity in this showcase of all things PRINT! This juried call for artwork was open to artists living in a 528-mile radius of Denver, Colorado. The number 528.0 refers to Denver’s altitude and status as the Mile High City (5,280 feet).

Artists submitted 553 artworks across all forms of printmaking. Jurors Emily Grace King (Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, Arvada, CO), Jennifer Lynch (Lynch Pin Press, Santa Fe, NM), and Howard Paine (University of Nebraska, Omaha) selected 83 works to showcase the expansive diversity of contemporary printmaking found within the Western Region. This exhibition is in partnership with Denver’s Month of Printmaking (March 2024).

"Prairie" celebrates in contemporary print the diversity of life in the grasslands of the Great Plains. The apparently endless waves of grass conceal a rich diversity of plant and animal life. Prints made from inked live plants allude to the camouflage grasses provide for animal life on the prairie.

Tricia Soderberg draws inspiration from the wonder of botanical gardens, channeling their vibrant energy into stunning works of art. As she strolls past blossoming flowers and verdant leaves, Soderberg feels a profound sense of renewal. This passion shines through in her mesmerizing monotype prints. Soderberg employs a layered mixed media technique to cultivate an illusion of depth and movement. She embraces the randomness of the creative process, inking and pressing real and artificial plants and hand-cut stencils onto plexiglass plates to be printed on archival paper. Soderberg often incorporates collaged elements, enhancing each print's unique personality. These imaginative interpretations invigorate the senses, transporting viewers into an oasis of light and life. Her work breathes new vitality into fragments of the natural world we so often take for granted.

Secondary Reception: February 25, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

The study of ecology stems from the relationship of living organisms and their environment.  In this project, I invite participants to ponder the areas of ecology surrounding them, whether that be in the natural or man made world and how we coexist in our surroundings or with other objects.  Is our relationship with the world surrounding us and the coexistence between us, the environment, the government, or even our society balanced?  This project is open ended in the way you interpret areas of your own ecology.

Artists: Michael Barnes, Mary Claire Becker, Stephanie Berrie, Alejandra Carrillo, Catherine Chauvin, Jacob Taylor Gibson, Ilan Gutin, Raluca Iancu, Alicia McKim, Taryn McMahon, Emily Moyer, Luis Perez, Johnny Plastini, Kathryn Polk, Maxwell Roath, Gregory Santos, Brady Smith, Madie Sturm, Melanie Yazzie, Marilee Salvator

On view February 22 through March 17, 2024.

Chinn Wang’s new artwork, 'Stay Puft', continues the artist’s exploration into transitions in life and death. Wang’s installation plays with ideas of mortality using the character of an auspicious Chinese mythological creature, the qilin, a being that appears as a harbinger and celebration of the birth of a great leader or the passing of a wise sage. The benevolent qilin prances lightly upon puffs emanating from a collection of seemingly banal everyday objects – a fireplace bellows, a teapot, a perfume bottle, a bicycle horn – embracing the last gasps of air from these objects as its celestial pathway. This acceptance of the futility of life mirrors the artist’s own grappling with inevitable loss and the perpetual evaporation of our memories. In 'Stay Puft', Wang employs coded visual language and symbolic iconography to further her investigation of legacy, history, and the tethered and cyclical experience of many immigrant families.

On view February 23 through March 30, 2024.

On view February 24 through March 29, 2024

In Andi Newberry’s exhibit “A Hero Emerges,” lithographs, screenprints, and mixed media works explore how her memories flex and distort, interactions and conversations are dwelled upon to the point of fixation, and life gets infused with a sense of dramatics that stems from the stories we tell and convince ourselves we could belong to. With humor and poetics, her pieces attract common threads and beckon dotted lines to connect them, whether through literal stray threads or frenetic mark-making. With recent implementations of alternative approaches involving handmade paper, textiles, and monotype, Newberry’s love for process and experimentation fuels her depictions of memory—in all its depth and fluidity and complications—to dazzle.

On view February 26 through March 8, 2024.

8 recent graduates of the University of Denver, who have continued to pursue artwork containing a print element are participating in an exhibition in the new Davis Gallery on the University of Denver campus. Since our opening is on Leap Day, we chose a loose theme for the exhibition: thinking about synchronicity with astronomical events, celestial alignments, seasonal changes, and the overarching idea of leaping into new transitions, as all exhibitors are members of our amazing alumni cohort.

On view February 26 through March 24, 2024.

James Dormer will be featured on the Guest Wall at Valkarie Gallery from Feb.28-Mar.31, 2024. He is a contemporary American printmaker/painter.  While the essence of his creative work is found in nature, it is not an attempt to literally portray the local landscape or its inhabitants.  Rather, his images become abstractions of his experiences, arrived at through memory, automatism and the subconscious.  He has always been intrigued with the materials of printmaking—copper, limestone, mordant and ink.  A vague idea, chance and the extraordinary potential of these elements are compelling considerations. Dormer is an Emeritus Professor of Art at Colorado State University where he chaired the Printmaking program for twenty-five years.  His paintings, drawings and prints have been exhibited in over 140 National and International juried and invitational exhibitions.  He has been a member of The Boston Printmakers since 2007.  James lives and has his studio in Fort Collins, Colorado.  

On view February 28 through March 31, 2024.

In Home Away From Home, three Denver-based artists: Claudia Borfiga, Virginia Diaz Saiki, and Lucy Holtsnider, reflect on the meaning of home and transition as each has spent significant periods of their lives elsewhere.

In this exhibition, narratives of home are revealed through storytelling, processing grief, or experiencing one’s natural surroundings through new eyes or new beginnings. Each artist renders these memories, transitions, and observations through a variety of printing techniques including monotype, collagraphs, and letterpress, as well as textiles and ceramics.

Don't miss the opportunity to meet the artists, chat with them about their work, and get a peek into their printmaking processes. Drop in any time between 12-2pm on Saturday, March 30th.

There’s Been A Murder! – the Whodunit? series of 36 monoprints and installation by Gregory Santos – on view in the Living Room gallery at Bell Projects March 2-April 28, 2024.

Whodunit? is a series of thirty-six unique monoprints combining the processes of lithography and screenprint. The imagery is of the six murder weapons from the Parker Brothers® board game Clue®. Beyond developing one’s skills of reasoning, examination, and determination, Clue introduced the concepts of deceit, suspicion, and murder to children. This series highlights the somewhat lightheartedness that was awarded to the act of murder and how it was portrayed in a family board game. Each weapon is depicted in six different colorways. Using a different color combination for each of the six characters from the game, each weapon icon is given different emotion, weight, and presence.

Secondary Reception: April 5, 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM

As a Chicano artist my identity, cultural and geographic backgrounds are integral in my art.  For numerous artists and myself these experiences, our cultural hybridity, becomes a foundation in our artwork, addressing the distinctions between the worlds we experience or ways that they combine them to form a new outlook of our identity. We live in a world that is constantly on the move with the ease of travel across long distances. People move between places and cultures either as an immigrant, refugees, workers, tourists or the blurring of geographic borders. This cultural hybridity has been a theme in my body of work since I first ventured into the fascinating field of art.  With art, I can address the differences in my world, forming a new and more accurate outlook of my personal and cultural identity.

Artist Talk: March 16, 6-8 PM

A Colorado artist whose family goes back 16 generations, Emilio Lobato has a large collection of creations spanning his 30-year career. While also well known for his paintings, with artwork included in galleries across the United States, he has also gained notoriety for his classic, calm, serene printworks. His prints are intriguing because of his sensitivity to the paper he uses in his work, often including antique, handmade and found paper, as well as new. His unique use of margins draws the viewer to focus more intently on the print, inspiring a sense of melancholy and contemplation.

Join Shanna Shelby, curator of exhibitions for Denver Arts & Venues, and master printmaker Emilio Lobato from 2-4 p.m. on March 3 for an opening reception including a guided tour and discussion of "Solo en Papel: 30 Anos de Grabados” on display in the Buell Theatre lobby January 20-April 7.

Since the invention of the printing press in the fifteenth century, printmaking has provided the means for wide circulation and accessible communication of progressive and democratic ideals. During democracy movements around the world, it has been printmakers who have helped get the word out. As an inexpensive, accessible, and participatory medium, hand pulled prints have the power to promote social change. Prints in the physical public space counter the digital space that often leaves out disenfranchised communities. Power to the Print, a month-long group exhibition at the BRDG gallery in Denver unites a diverse group of Colorado artists who use print media as a tool for social change. These artists engage with ideas of decolonization, social and restorative justice, equality, resistance and interconnected solidarity around the world.

In my continuing series “Gem of the West Glimpses of Reality,” I am offering altered landscapes for the viewer to negotiate a dialog between what is known or visible and what is unknown. When the viewer recognizes the landscape as something they have interacted with in the past and how it has affected their senses currently. Or the viewers reaction is based on something seen in the print but not recognized that triggers a response based on how the conscious, subconscious or the unconscious has reacted to the stimulus of the print. I have focused on the multiple pigment transfer printing process. This style of printmaking uses a method of transfer where by a digital image is printed on a substrate and then that image is transferred onto paper. I print on Masa acid free paper. Enjoy

Megan Morgan and Chris Hoehle will have a paired solo art exhibition at Valkarie Gallery titled GRAIN & FIBER this March 6-31, 2024. The opening reception is March 9, 2024 from 5-8:30 pm

Megan Morgan, a multidisciplinary artist, combines printmaking techniques with contemporary sculptural skills to create a new series of works centered around the theme 'alter,' which means to make something different without changing it into something else. Megan's exhibition showcases three distinct art directions that collectively form her theme: altered figures, altered viewpoints of the West, and the transformative impact of struggle.

Chris Hoehle is a sculptural artist who specializes in woodturning. His series of wall hangings, Ripples, is both a response to the technical challenge of representing water in wood art and a celebration of the interconnectedness of the human condition and the ways we influence one another in these lives we all share.

The works in this exhibition showcase the separation of my two identities: a White presenting woman and an Indigenous woman. These two identities have remained separate for most of my life, and many of my feelings of not belonging anywhere have stemmed from the dichotomy they present in my life. This exhibition is the beginning of filling the gaps between those two parts of my identity, meshing the duality of myself together in the hopes of making one whole person a true singularity. The exhibition, like myself, is bisected into these two halves; mixing beadwork practices and weaving on both sides to make one cohesive show.

On view March 11 through March 22, 2024.

This exhibition delves into the literal ephemera of what remains from printmaking, and other materials that are used to create prints. Being an artist, means battling with hoarding of materials for that one day, as well as knowing how to create finished prints in an editionable and consistent way. In that pursuit you are left with drawings/paintings (to figure out color schemes), aluminum plates, markers, pieces of wood, etc. These can be discarded into an already saturated ecological environment via landfills, or in this case save them to create an aesthetic quality related to the supplies, and a constant conceptual examination. This investigation into materials and research is using assemblage to relate the existential sense of being and iconography as a tool to inform the viewer about biographical narratives.

Artist Talk: March 21, 7:00 PM
This will be an opportunity for the public to learn about the formal process of Flores' art ideation, research and the fruition of Ephemera. This artist talk will elaborate on the aesthetics, conceptuality, symbolism, and biographical narrative approach of Javier Flores' body of work.

These works are illustrations. Working from a preexisting story I draw my interpretation of its meaning. There are elements that must be included, but how they are included is up to me. And how you as the viewer ascribe their meaning is up to you. Ironically I don't much believe in tarot. there is no power in the cards. The power comes from you as the viewer being allowed to access the full breadth of your emotion and experience through the card. The belief in magic is the spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down. So when you look at the cards, let them reveal to you what you have already known, and if it feels like a magical coincidence, then that's all the more fun.

I am an avid gardener. The yard I care for is a place where giving and receiving is continuous yearlong.  Every fall, I collect yard debris that has been discarded by my neighbors and feed it to my compost pile. This series of multilayered monotypes was created using discarded decorative grasses and alley trash such as plastic bags and food wrappers from my neighborhood. I wanted to capture the still-fruitful nature of these plants as they began to decompose. After printing was complete, these materials were added to the compost; food for earthworms this winter, and a vegetable garden in the spring.

After Humanity was Discovered by Camie Rigirozzi, she realized that neglecting to establish boundaries with the people in her life forced her to feel more pain than she wanted. The animal imagery that drove Camie’s last art exhibit is again the vehicle she uses to describe what it means to have boundaries between herself and those around her. She learned that emotional boundaries are how we keep our deepest selves safe while moving through this world. Building on her radical use of mixed media collage and utilizing gel plate mono printing with photo transfer techniques, Camie explores the idea of farm animals, fenced and safe from hurting each other. Camie is pleased to participate in Mo’Print (Month of Printmaking) with this exhibit.

In Overwhelming Nature, Denver-based printmaker Raymundo Muñoz presents a selection of linocut relief prints inspired by the oppressive density of the natural world. Through heavy use of detail, repetitive elements, and complex organic patterns and forms, the artist invites viewers to experience a sense of awe, not only in nature, but in the art form itself. Based on his own photos, Munoz's flora, fauna, and landscapes are expressed through intense linework inspired by printmakers, illustrators, and comic book artists alike. The graphic results reveal as much the artist's love of line as his interest in the vast and wild settings and processes all around us. Among the sheer bigness and quantities suggested, though, quiet visual cues throughout Overwhelming Nature remind us that we don't have to understand and hold it all in. It's okay to simply witness, and walk away.

Artist talk : Sunday, April 28, 2 PM
