PRESS WORKS is thrilled to be printing with California painter Chris Trueman this week. Chris expressed an interest in exploring the layering and masking techniques he uses in his paintings in monotypes. His work ethic is inspiring and he brought his full game to the print studio yesterday to create a number of beautiful monotype prints that utilize a monochromatic color palette of cyanotype blue. Expect to see a few teaser images soon as the prints are currently in process. Chris and printer Todd Smith have decided to combine traditional additive/subtractive monotype methods with photo screenprint images that Chris will create on the computer. We hope to have these images ready for viewing and purchasing within the month. Stay tuned..and thank you Chris, it is a pleasure to work with you.
With just a few simple tools and a limited palette Chris created a series of monotypes that reference some of the energy and mystery found in his paintings yet explore new ground in value and mark making. The screenprinted portion of the prints will act as a visual contrast to the subtle variations of value and color emitted by the printing inks.
