The 20th Anniversary exhibit celebrates two decades of printmaking. This show features Ink Shop artists, fellows, instructors, students, plus printmakers from around the country who have created or shown with us.
The exhibit runs from February 28th to March 29th, 2020 in “La Ferme Du Mousseau in Elancourt, 78990, France. It is organized by Art Gravure SQY with the help of the City of SAINT QUENTIN EN YVELINES and the town of ELANCOURT, in collaboration with The Ink Shop Printmaking Center (ITHACA – NY – USA).
It aims to show the diversity of printmaking techniques in both countries and encourage their practice as well as building bridges between artists, crossing boundaries.

The Ink Shop is pleased to host the 5th joint show of prints by students of two strong printmaking programs at Ithaca College and Cornell University.The fine art print possesses conceptual complexity which is deeply embedded in contemporary art practices. These prints explore aspects of this conversation, questioning what prints are and how they function. These works are richly diverse with unique approaches using traditional methods, ranging from beginner to advanced practitioners. Accessing a rich history of distributable and reproducible media, these prints are placed square in our present, digital moment and present questions both age-old and prescient.
False Wall is a combination of materials, process, and prints. The two traditions that make up these prints: woven textiles and screen printed editions result in repeated patterns. They rely on hand-painted backgrounds to bring irregularity into the movement of the body of work.

Dan Welden has been a pioneer of alternative printmaking since 1970. Nationally and internationally recognized master printmaker, he was the first artist to initiate Solarplate and waterbased monotype workshops, placing him squarely in the vanguard of healthy and safe creative practice.
The series “Aesop’s Fables” is a series of symbolic gestures which employ visual opposites, including the hare and the tortoise and the grasshopper and the ant, as metaphors for the Yin Yang philosophy. Resurrecting 50-year-old found zinc etching plates that had oxidized beyond redemption. Making his own tools, the artist employed drypoint lines, salt etch, ink, paper and a press to subject the dilapidated plates to a maelstrom of mark-making gestures. This "Color Sequel” is a hybrid of his earlier black and white Aesop's Fables series, augmented with acrylic, watercolor and crayon.
