New Art Exhibit To Feature Printmaking At UB

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- New print work by UB undergraduate and graduate students, recent alumni and participants in ePIC (experimental Print Imaging Center), will be on display Sept. 9-30 in the UB Art Department Gallery in the Center for the Arts on the North Campus.

The exhibit, which will include intaglio, lithography, screenprint, relief and monotype, will open with a reception from 5-7 p.m. Sept. 9 in the gallery on the lower level and in the main-floor atrium of the Center for the Arts. It will be free and open to the public.

"Printmaking at UB addresses a uniquely rich vocabulary of artistic expression," said Jeff Sherven, printmaking technician and a coordinator of UB's Printmaking Program in the Department of Art in the College of Arts and Sciences. "Ranging from abstraction to representation, these works were selected for their emotional drive and strong visual impact that reveal an inventive marriage process and individual vision.

"Crossing boundaries between painting, drawing and photography, the works confront themes and issues central to artmaking today: gender and ethnicity, ancestry and heritage, the reinvention of private mythologies and the essential 'materiality' of the creative processes utilized in making prints," he added.
