Paul Van Atta
2017-2018
Paul uses salvaged materials, a decoupage of paper once used in electrical components, and narratives of abandonment. Paul received his masters degree in fine arts at SUNY New Paltz, he organized multiple live printing events and exhibitions/art markets with fellow artists and colleagues. From 2013-2015, Paul worked with the Association of Modern Psychology and the New Lacanian School to promote conferences and seminars using his previous illustrations. Recently, he has participated in a group exhibition at the Williamsburg Art and Historical Center, in which his work incorporated past drawings and prints, paintings and defaced sale tags.
The Kahn Family Fellowship, in memory of our colleague Peter Kahn, is designed to offer opportunities to artists seeking further experience and professional development in printmaking and book arts, and is available to artists with postgraduate degrees in printmaking or book arts locally, nationally or internationally. The Fellow is given the privileges of a Printmaker Associate, including unlimited access to the studio to produce their own work, a stipend, the possibility of teaching workshops, and editioning for others on a fee basis, and will have a solo show here at The Ink Shop for the month of June.
