Workshop: October 7 – 9, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

New York-based artist Josh Smith has distinguished himself by his mastery of multiple mediums including painting, printmaking, collage, sculpture, bookmaking, and ceramics.<\/span><\/p>\n

During this workshop, Smith collaborated with Maurice Sanchez using Sanchez\u2019s innovative method of producing multiple strong impressions from a single monotype plate (which generally only produces one strong impression and a lighter \u201cghost\u201d impression). This process also allows the artist to work in a variety of materials including lithography inks, graphite, and both chalk and oil pastels.<\/span><\/p>\n

In recent years, Smith has preferred motifs such as leaves, fish, skeletons, insects, ghosts, and sunsets. In selecting these rather arbitrary subjects and rendering them in a manner that is by turns aggressive, playful, repetitive, and oblique, Smith compels us to move beyond aesthetics towards a focus on process and looking.\u00a0 During the Smith College Print Workshop the artist produced monotypes with a variety of subjects including fish, pumpkins and sculptures.<\/span><\/p>\n
