Multiplicity is inherent to printmaking in both traditional and contemporary art. “The Power of Three,” is an exhibition of triptychs, in a diversity of approaches by the artist-printmakers of Ground Zero Printmakers Studio.
The triptych form, physically and thematically, links three distinct pieces into one work. The numerous state-proofs of a print matrix, the image ghosts of the monoprint process, leave a chronological trail, tell a story of evolving intent, a path to the conclusion and resolution of a complete work: the sequential nature of printmaking media echoing the triptych narrative form.
Present in the exhibition will be new work in intaglio, lino- and woodcut, monoprint, silkscreen, new media and print-based sculptural and installation pieces exploring the numerous possibilities of the triptych.
