About this exhibition

Artists have always used a variety of processes to create repeatable images. This exhibition focuses on four categories of traditional printmaking techniques: Relief, Intaglio, Stenciling and Planographic. Each wall in the Gallery represents one of these four techniques.

Although traditional processes have been used for the prints in this exhibition, the techniques have been expanded and adapted to the working methods of the Artists. For example, rather than using a traditional grease pencil to create a lithographic print, Joyce Wieland has used her own lipstick. Greg Curnoe and Betty Goodwin have made impressions of physical objects and several of the prints incorporate photographic imagery.

All the prints in the exhibition are by Canadian Artists.
