Jenny Robinson Prints and Multiples
British, b. 1957
In October 2019 Robinson received the Mario Avati Gravure Laureate Award from the Academie des Beaux Arts in Paris. This award includes a solo Exhibition at the Pavillon Comtesse de Caen, opposite the Louvre in Sept 2021.
Brought up in Sarawak, Borneo (now Malaysia), Jenny's earliest impressions of the effects of light and colour were formed there. Since studying for her BA Fine Art Printmaking at WSCAD in Surrey UK, Jenny has traveled extensively throughout the world, always with a sketchbook within easy reach.
During these travels she concentrated on refining and developing her love of light and shadow, particularly how these elements combine with buildings and architectural detail to create an atmosphere of time and place. Robinson is a full time painter/printmaker living in Australia. She exhibits regularly in London, Paris and California.
"My studio in San Francisco was based in an area of postindustrial decline, populated by architecture that is on the periphery of people’s vision, hidden either by design or by obsolescence, abandoned and forgotten.
My work has always been informed by my immediate environment - where I live, work and go has a direct impact on the subject matter I am drawn to. After moving from London to San Francisco in 2001, I became fascinated by structures displaying a sense of strength and energy, but ignored, threatened by the passage of time to ultimate defeat by corrosion and decay. My work is concerned with depicting how these giant structures appear, not through a sense of romantic yearning for the past, but by responding to location and documenting how they appear to me, now, in the moment." - Jenny Robinson
As an artist who works primarily on paper, printmaking is the perfect vehicle for Robinson to explore these themes of atmosphere and corrosion. The monoprint process enables her to create images that are drenched and heavy with dark ink. Using deeply saturated colors and textures not only reveal the surfaces of the structures but also permeate the emptiness around them. The physical nature of making large format monoprints helps to create the monumentality of its subject matter. Each step of the process, from drawing the image onto the plate, scouring and gouging, inking, and finally, wiping the surface for printing, suffuses the final print with a textural, tactile, physical quality difficult to achieve in other media, creating the perfect balance of color, texture and line.

Cartas de Japon by Ray Smith surreal Dali esque print Japanese portfolio
By Ray Smith
Located in New York, NY
Ray Smith's aptitude for the surreal is apparent in this portfolio of six drypoint prints, presented in a portfolio case. Each image depicts an intriguing, fantastic landscape populated with chimeric nudes. Each one is carefully printed to appear as if doodled on lined notebook paper with ballpoint pen: Japanese letter paper chine-colle on Kizuki Hosho paper. Translated as "Letters from Japan," Cartas de Japon plays on tropes of an exotic, faraway land. The series of prints perhaps pictures Japan in the imagination of westerners, who for centuries speculated that those from other continents had wildly different bodies and customs. The title may be a reference to iconic Mexican director Carlos Velo's 1973 film Letters from Japan.
Cartas del Japon, 1988-89
Portfolio of 6 drypoint prints printed on Japanese letter paper mounted on Kizuki Hosho paper
Plate 6 x 7.8 in. Paper 18 x 23.4 in. Ed. 30 with three artist proofs.
Printed by Hideharu Mishio, Norimasa Mizutani, and Marie Okada at Woodblock Workshop. Published by AC&T CORPORATION, Tokyo, 1989.
Per the Broad: "Ray Smith’s paintings incorporate surrealistic and animistic tendencies informed by his Latin heritage as well as deep study of the history of modern art. Smith was born near the Texas/Mexico border...
