Clark - The Ladies Collagraph - Varied Open Edition |
People often think these are paintings but Collagraph is a form of hand pulled printmaking based on collage. You can read about the process on my web site. Each print is hand inked and printed on a printing press Even though I can use the same plate to pull many prints from, each one is inked in a different set of colours and so is a unique work of art.
After creating "The Ladies" I decided it would be fun to do a few more in the same theme so I went ahead and made the collagraph plates ready for printing. In the previous post I hadn't actually printed the new works but since then I have, and also added more "Ladies" to the series. Because the ladies are only very loosely based on the 1920's style I have been able to have fun with their design, making them look slightly sexy and with exaggerated bows and hats. The first prints I pulled all sold so this week I printed up some new ones and I'm quite pleased with the result. I will be exhibiting them at several art shows around Toronto in the next few months. Details are on my web site.

I'm glad you have decided to add more ladies to this series. They are so charming and I think you've capture the spirit of the era very well!
Thanks Kathleen. I've enjoyed doing them. I don't know where these creative inspirations come from but they often lead me off on a tangent to do fun decorative pieces rather than serious art.
THey all have attitude! Nice work, Suzanne. And yes, I'm sharing! :)
Thanks Deborah. I had fun getting the look with a slight sexy feel. Thank you too for sharing. I really appreciate it. I have been looking at your latest silk painting. As usual it is really beautiful! People in your area are so lucky to have a silk painting teacher that is so accomplished.
