David Krutz Projects presents Carved
PARKWOOD - David Krut Projects Johannesburg is pleased to announce Carved, a group exhibition of woodcut and linocut relief prints made in the David Krut Print Workshop at Arts on Main.
Relief prints are characterised by bold dark-light contrasts and an impress into the paper of the inked lines. The primary relief techniques are woodcut and linocut.
Linocuts are printed from a linoleum tile. The linoleum is handled in exactly the same way as a wood block but, since it does not have a wood grain, the surface of the resulting print will have less texture.
Woodcut is the earliest and most enduring of all print techniques, in which a block of wood is used as the matrix.
Carved will be showcasing work by a large selection of artists including Godfried Donkor, Senzo Shabangu, Maja Maljevic, Mary Wafer, William Kentridge, Jurgen Partenheimer, Ryan Arenson, Chris Cozier, Stephen Hobbs, Wilma Cruise, Joshua Miles and Chad Cordeiro.
Senzo Shabangu will also present a printmaking demonstration at 11am on 21 February at David Krut Bookstore, 151 Jan Smuts Avenue, to offer visitors insight into the art of creating linocut prints.
