It occurs to me that painting is a comment. Color, line and brushwork create a language - one that seems more knowing - a glance at the truth. No matter the subject matter, it is essential that the artist trust the color and line to create through them a soulful response and a trustworthy recording of the human experience.
Artists Image Resource (AIR) has been supporting engaging and challenging work through its on-going programming since 1996. This national juried exhibition is a way to make the best of contemporary printmaking visible to a large audience in the Pittsburgh region. Because this is an election year, special consideration will be given to socially and politically engaged print work.
