John Scott Martin
Close Finish, Linocut Print, Sailing, Racing, Sea

About the Item

Close Finish is an original linocut print on paper by John Scott Martin. Having cut a series of lino blocks, I prepare collage backgrounds. I handprint onto the collages, which are made up of coloured, textured and decorative papers. Each collage background is different, therefore each print is an original. The mood and dynamics of an individual print can be changed by the use of collage. The printed results are then mounted and or framed. John was born in Nottinghamshire, studying painting and graphic design at Nottingham College of Art in the 1960’s. He now lives in rural Warwickshire, just about as far from the sea as you can get. This doesn’t stop him from making frequent trips to the sea. In his paintings he likes his ships and boats to move and this effects how he gathers his reference material. His primary source being an extensive library of his own photographic images. This is added to whenever possible, often with no time for a sketch, but always with time for the camera to record.

He now lives in rural Warwickshire, just about as far from the sea as you can get. This doesn’t stop him from making frequent trips to the sea. In his paintings he likes his ships and boats to move and this effects how he gathers his reference material. His primary source being an extensive library of his own photographic images. This is added to whenever possible, often with no time for a sketch, but always with time for the camera to record. He has continued to be inspired over the last fifteen years by sail, ships and the sea. The breadth of his maritime imagery and experience is continually expanding, always believing that his next marine painting might be his best. During his time at art college he developed an interest in Cornish mining. In the early 1960s mining was still a viable industry. Now however, it is consigned to the category of heritage, history and drama. Since his time as a student, this interest has been sustained. Inspiration for this subject can be seen in the "Below Grass" page. Also in a new series of linocuts under the title of Below & Above.

Color Lithograph Linocut Chine Collé "Workshop" Bright Modernist Pop Art
By Tom Burckhardt
Located in Surfside, FL
Hand signed and numbered edition of 25. 16 x 36" sheet size without frame. “Workshop” is an ambitious color lithograph and linocut with chine collé printed in twelve colors from nine plates and one linocut. It has been printed in an edition of 25, plus proofs, on white Rives BFK paper 16 x 36” with chine collé of various papers. (No, it’s not upside down) Born 1964 in New York where he still currently resides and works alongside his partner the ceramist Kathy Butterly. Son of the photographer Rudy Burckhardt and painter Yvonne Jacquette, Tom Burckhardt was 1986, BFA, State University of New York, Purchase, NY 1992–1993, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, ME 1996, Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation Studio Grant 1997, New York Foundation for the Arts, Painting Grant 1997 Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant 2002 George Hitchcock Award, National Academy of Arts 2003, Richard & Hinda Rosenthal Foundation Award, American Academy 2005, AICA Best Show of an Emerging or Underknown Artist 2005 Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant 2006 Best Installation, Best of Houston, the Houston Press 2009 Guggenheim Foundation Grant 2010, New York Foundation for the Arts Drawing/Print Grant 2010 Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant Tom Burckhardt’s work is a carnival of images jumbled and jostling each other in precarious nonsensical compositions. He uses lushly colored and patterned images from all kinds of sources that bounce between abstraction and representation. Images come from tool catalogs, paper and fabric patterns, funhouse painting, architectural details, stripes, dots and squiggles. It is as if Burckhardt is a cartoonist merrily channeling Ellsworth Kelly, Paul Feeley, Robert Therrien, and Myron Stout, among others. Like Red Grooms, for whom he worked as an assistant, Burckhardt ransacks his influences yet ends up with something unmistakably his own. His work bears the influence of is a synthesis of many things: the tribal-influenced abstract painting of Steve Wheeler...
