A Few Renowned Printmaking Artists
Carol Odell chose painting as her way of expression when she was young and decided to go to art school. Ever since finishing a BFA from the Boston Museum School / Tufts University in 1967, she has made art and design a part of her lifestyle. After exploring several media after some time, she has opted for oil paint as her favored medium for its performing features as well as richness of color. Gouache and monotype works on paper augment her larger oil works on canvas, wood panels and folding screens. Managing the Odell studio / gallery has provided her with the satisfying experience of one-on-one contact as well as connections with lots of collectors of her work. Her work is likewise currently represented by the Rice / Polak Gallery in Provincetown, MA and in several juried group shows in the New England region. She exhibits often with the Monotype Guild of New England of which she had been president for 3 years.
David Smith-Harrison came to be in Salt Lake City, Utah in which he has spent the greater part of his existence. In 1977 he was honored a Utah State Sterling Scholarship, before going on to be educated at the South Glamorgan Institute, Cardiff, Wales in 1983 and the University of Utah, Salt Lake City in 1984.
His very original printmaking, which blends traces of Renaissance style architecture with vividly rendered organic objects, depends on his fascination for drawing. “Drawing is of central importance to me,” he says, “it is a tool for developing my powers of observation and memory.”
The fragile technique of printmaking has a greater aspect of surprise to anyone. Smith-Harrison enjoys this slightly volatile delivery of his concepts. He says “I am attracted to the infinite possibilities of impressing ink onto paper and I find the unique textural characteristics of prints to be stimulating, seductive, and full of subtlety and nuance.” It is a time-consuming technique inherited from the wonderful engravers of the Renaissance, a period which particularly fascinates Smith-Harrison. He stresses that his interest in earlier artistic tradition will be as essential to him as his interaction with present life.
Smith-Harrison’s high artistic standing has guaranteed huge exhibition of his work. He has displayed many solo and group events all over California. His work was also exhibited at the Evergreen Graphic Art Association, Taipei Cultural Centre, Taiwan in 1993.
Additionally, Smith-Harrison has took part in numerous juried shows. Among these are the Ashland University Printmaking Invitational Exhibition, Ohio, at which he exhibited work in 1999; National Printmaking, College of New Jersey, Trenton in 1997, Tokyo International Mini-Print Triennal 95, Japan; 65th National Print Exhibition, Society of American Graphic Artists, Federal Plaza, New York in 1993 and US-UK Print Connection, Barbican Centre in London in 1989.
WilIiam Stolpin was born and brought up in Flint. He went to Garfield elementary, Emerson Junior High and old Northern High School, where he is currently a Distinguished Alumni with his picture on the wall at the new High School. He graduated from Northern in 1960, and went directly to GMI. He graduated with BME in 1965. While he was in Junior High, he was creating linoleum block Christmas cards. One card particularly had 7 blocks and about fifteen colors. He became aware, at that time, that he had a talent for printmaking, and have been making images since then.
Printmaking is a very wide medium in art and could be learned nearly anywhere, in art classes or from printmaking artists. Once you learn the basics, you will find there are numerous ways to make a really good print.
