Spurred into imagination by a small meeting in a closet artist’s garage with a beautiful old printing press this piece showcases a small (or rather quite large) glimpse into the world of printmaking; an art form that usually happens in small, close quartered artist studios.
For this printmaking project we have multiplied the scale and gone big, really really big, and the only way to make a large print with wood cut or lino is to use an equally giant roller… a steamroller.
The Printmakers are a collaborative print collective founded by five local Revelstoke artists.
Brett Mallon is an Australian painter, printmaker and arts educator living and working in Revelstoke, BC. His work explores isolation, memory and time.
Cornelius Suchy has been a closet artist for 40 years and would like to roll out his love of printmaking in a big way. He has taught wood etching classes at RVAC in the past.
