Enrique Figueredo is bringing his stunning installation of woodcuts to Flatbed.
Robinson is known for her use of monumental scale and fragile, lightweight papers to draw attention to the strength and fragility of both the natural and manmade worlds. Her imagery often features the built environment and decaying structures, from iron bridges to concrete warehouses, investigating the impact of the present moment on the appearance of places and materials.
Flatbed is proud to announce its annual Community Studio group exhibition. Known as Flathead Printmakers, each is a member of the bustling Community Studio where they have access to lithographic, intaglio and letterpress equipment. Flatbed is excited to see a growth in membership over the past year and is even more excited about the work being created in the Community space.
Flatbed Center for Contemporary Printmaking is excited to announce their third annual exhibition that showcases Austin’s new and upcoming printmakers. This exhibition features work from students who are receiving their BFA, BA, BS, or MFA with a major or minor concentration in printmaking from an Austin area college or university.
Flatbed is excited to present an exhibition of new monotypes and an etching by Jeffrey Dell. The exhibition’s title “Tidal Waive” alludes to both the fluid spacial elements seen in many of these prints and a resistance to find titles for the singular works in the monotype series which are premiering in this exhibition. Dell uses traditional printmaking media to create works on paper that explore the fluid perception of space.
Field Notes on Augury: ISTI MIRANT STELLA: Flatbed is pleased to present a selection of works by Serena Perrone spanning printmaking, ceramics, glass, photography, and text. Often taking cues from literature and art history, her varied bodies of work are unified by the use of color and recurring symbols, relying heavily on process, workmanship, and decoration. The works in this exhibition record instances of both wonder and trepidation when confronting the landscape and natural phenomena. Isti Mirant Stella (“they marvel at the star”) is a nod to the auspicious appearance of Halley’s Comet as depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry of 1066, as Perrone proposes the possibility of reading the past and gleaning clues to the future through close attention to the terrestrial and celestial realms.
Flatbed is excited to present an exhibition of woodcuts and etchings by Annalise Gratovich during Austin’s celebrated Print Month.
