Last night on my walk home from work, I stopped by the opening of a new print show at The Print Center. It was perfect because I pass The Print Center on my walk home each day, and it also started to rain shortly before arriving. So I had a good excuse to stay a while. The current show has work from Philadelphia artist Isaac Tin Wei Lin, printmaker Andrew Kozlowski, and a section entitled "Pulling from History: Letterpress."
[all pictures were shot with my iPhone. sorry is some of them are blurry]
Isaac Tin Wei Lin created an amazing 2 and 3-D installation, containing printed and painted work.
Andrew Kozlowski is a printmaker from Virginia. This first picture is just a section of an entire wall of screenprinted cans. There were probably a million. It was pretty impressive. The second picture shows some of his work, which were based on authentic natural experiences.
The first floor was dedicated to letterpress. There was current work from a few printers, including Matt Neff, and also historic examples of prints, and books from various personal collections. It was great to see new work next to historic pieces, such as the picture below. This 5 is a part of a larger piece from a billboard owned by Kyle Van Horn, and the print to the right, I believe is from the Common Press, here in Philly.
