25.01.2022 This etching and aquatint by Ian Grant captures the ambience of the Australian landscape: simultaneously still, sparse, and wonderfully rich. The subject matter... is timeless, instantly recognisable and imbued a sense of nostalgia by the artists use of moody colour palette and wistful clouds. The viewer becomes immersed in the landscape, easily able to imagine the warm, still air and sounds of various humming insects. A simple scene, perhaps, but a highly charged one. Grant, Ian, Blue sky nocturne, 2007, etching and aquatint, printed in colour inks, from multiple plates, Purchased 2007.

24.01.2022 Master Printmakers Michael Kempson and Kitikong Tilokwattanotai in action! Some snippets from the two-day printmaking workshop! Get a chance to meet them tomorr...ow at the opening of "By Hand:Rediscovering the Art of Printmaking" at 6 PM, 12F Gallery, School of Design and Arts Campus, De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde. #ByHandBenilde #PrintmakingBenilde #BenildeCampusArt

24.01.2022 A sweet print to celebrate the end of the week. Animals are the subject matter of much of Noel McKennas oeuvre charming depictions of horses, cats and dogs f...ull of individual personality and quirky flair. As our friends at the National Portrait Gallery boldly state: Its a matter beyond dispute that in the entire history of Australian art, its Noel McKenna whos painted the liveliest rendition of the head of a Chihuahua. This etching and aquatint features what looks to be a bug-eyed French Bulldog, looking straight at the viewer attentively. McKenna, Noel, Dog Vaucluse, 2006, etching and aquatint, printed in black ink, from one plate, Purchased 2007. https://www.portrait.gov.au/content/noel-mckenna
