Brian Cohen:
\nPrints Based on Form of 17th Century Emblem Book
\nOctober 6-31, 2018<\/h2>\n

Brian Cohen says about this exhibition:<\/em>
\nI will exhibit a series of prints based on the form of the 17th century emblem book. The series comprises 40 etchings, each 5″x5″ (framed to 16″x16″) and accompanied by a Latin aphorism and English translation. The historical emblem displayed the key elements of the world in schematic and formal spatial arrangements in order to reveal the spiritual, the metaphysical, the abstract, and through symbolic associations and diverse meanings. The makers of emblem books saw the universe as “like a book or mirror of our life and death” (Alanus ab Insulis<\/em>), investing objects in the world with immediate and enduring universal significance. The reader\/viewer finds associations and analogies and constructs significance from the often unpredictable and contradictory friction of text and image; in that gap is a tension that challenges and engages the viewer, much as it confounds and provokes him or her.<\/p>\n

I take less technical and more makeshift approaches to etching. I start out broadly, a little uncontrolled, but with a clear geometric underpinning. I don\u2019t really want to know exactly how the image will look beforehand \u2014 too many unexpectedly and potentially satisfying things may happen to exclude the accidental or the momentarily inspired ahead of time. I work on dozens of etchings at once. The process of etching is physical and elemental, requiring force and pressure, inviting aggression and then delicacy, conjoining fire, water, earth, and air. There is something about etching an image into metal that implies permanence, duration, and enduring presence, and I hope my images mirror the medium in that sense. I embrace themes of loss, futility, destruction, and unexpected, redemptive beauty, themes tied to the tradition of printmaking, whose imagery has always tended toward critical commentary and serious contemplation, and often toward humor and irony as well.<\/p>\n

Recently, she has been working with Vijay Kumar, master printer at the Manhattan Graphics Center.<\/p>\n

Since becoming a Two Rivers Printmaking Studio member, she has exhibited in many of their studio shows, as well as at the FLYNNDOG in Burlington, the Pegasus Gallery in Quechee, Bridgewater Mills Gallery in Bridgewater and in a juried exhibition at the AVA Gallery in Lebanon, New Hampshire, and at the Manhattan Graphics Center, among other venues.<\/p>\n

Patty Castellini
\nApril 6-20, 2018<\/h2>\n

Patty Castellini is known for her colorful abstract monotype prints. The Enfield, New Hampshire artist first discovered her love for printmaking when she began volunteering at AVA Art Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire–a position which evolved into a twenty-five year teaching career.<\/p>\n

Monotypes differ from other printmaking techniques because they are one-of-a-kind. Inks are applied to a plate, much like an artist would paint a canvas. The plate is then pressed into the paper, transferring the inks, to create the final print.<\/p>\n

Castellini takes great delight in the creative process, both her own and that of her young students. She believes creating art is something that can engage everyone. She states, “It is this dual process of teaching and painting that adds so much meaning to my life.”<\/p>\n

\nby Don and V. Shalvah Herzberg

“Body Language” is a collaboration of poems and prints by Don and V. Shalvah Herzberg.<\/p>\n

About V. Shalvah Herzberg:
\nV. Shalvah Herzberg has lived in Vermont for over 35 years, during which time she was a research faculty member at Dartmouth Medical School who took occasional art classes at AVA Gallery and Art Center when it was located in Hanover, New Hampshire. Following her retirement, she concentrated on original design knitting, pottery, and painting. After becoming a juried signature member of the Vermont Watercolor Society, she studied at Two Rivers Printmaking Studio, where she continues to perfect non-toxic alternatives to traditional printmaking. Her images range in subject matter from local scenery and botanicals to the human figure and non-representational abstraction.<\/p>\n

Carol Lippman: A Path to the Unconscious
\nAugust 5-September 30, 2016<\/h2>\n

The collographs, monoprints, woodblock prints of Carol Lippman, of West Newbury, Vermont and Syosset, New York, explore and reflect nature and time. Many of her pieces begin with a topographic map and are built up with layers of colors, shapes, marks, and images that record her sensory perceptions. Carol invites viewers to consider the completed prints as visual dreams.<\/p>\n
