About the Item

Color lithograph, Edition 30. John Newman makes rich, complicated sculpture. He brings materials and techniques used by local artisans from around the world to make concentrated and intricate objects. Sisal and bark, braided copper wire, rice paper and paste are fashioned into substantial, aggregated forms. “He is impelled by and urges his viewers to consider an intimate rapport with objects'”. Newman’s drawings and prints compress the role of drawing and sculpture. He depicts illusionistic spaces and forms that defy physical laws, like Piranesi’s visionary architecture. In his first visit to Shark’s in December 2002, Newman made two lithographs,Bluish Free Fall and Rusty Curtain Lecture and a group of hand-colored monotypes.
