One of the exciting things about having friends who are so amazingly artistic is that I get to go and see some amazing openings and art shows. This art show is for my printmaking friend Anastasia Quinn Keck, who you may remember from some of my earlier posts. They have been so wonderful to allow me to come into their studio and explore printmaking in order to help me get back into my art. So, it was only fitting that I went down to see their art show opening in Easthampton, Massachusetts, during the annual book fest. The show was up for all of April and as you can see it was amazing!
First of all the space was incredible, set up in old town hall, Anastasia Quinn had the whole Easthampton City Arts Gallery to them self.
Then there were these amazing artist books, that Anastasia Quinn included in honor of Book Fest.
Not to mention this fantastic collection of prints created using the texts of various poems.
Which tied in perfectly to the poetry reading
that happened during the opening.
Here's Anastasia Quinn reading their own original poem!
However, one of the most incredible parts of the show was this large display of prints. These prints are beyond masterful in their layering and the way that Anastasia Quinn is breaking out of the Printmaking rectangle, to create prints of all shapes and sizes. Not, to mention the way that the prints were laid out on the wall. It brings the eyes on an adventure and if you look closely, it's almost like you can find the story within.
Here are just some of the close up photos I took of this amazing wall of prints!
Hope you enjoyed my review of the show! If you're interested to find out anything more about artist
