Ausrine Kerr : Friday, May 1st, 6-8pm : Artist Reception

Ausrine Kerr :

Exhibiting May 1st thru May 25th @ The Evanston Frame Warehouse

 

Intaglio/ relief printmaking for me is a natural extension of my earlier work in leather.  I’ve found that any method of printmaking can remove boundaries  and allows me to continuously enjoy the materials and techniques.  The relief prints have striking boldness. If one pauses for a second glance, there will be seen some wonderful subtlety as well as details in lines and shapes.


High relief, earthy colors and simple concepts are my “corner stones”. I build a piece in layers, using different surfaces, materials and patterns to create depth both in form and meaning. Each layer works with and against the layer beneath it. I use printmaking techniques in order to create rich textural surface on paper and leather.   The possibilities seem endless.

Framing an Original Beatles Print

 

Our challenge was framing an original print from the photographer Sharokh Hatami of the first color photos he took of The Beatles backstage at the Cavern Club in Liverpool. The subtle colors of the matting really puts the focus on the image and of course Museum glass does the rest! Thanks to our Evanston customer who collects early Rock and Roll images!!!!
