Four Corners and a Center
Village Theatre Art Gallery. 233 Front St. Danville, CA
May 20–July 1, 2011
Juror: Renee Bott, co-owner of Paulson Press
Four Corners and a Center exhibit highlights the diversity and creativity of contemporary printmaking and showcases techniques such as woodcut, monotype, etching and handmade artist books. The theme was selected by Amy Miller, Visual Arts Program Director of Danville’s city-run Village Theatre Art Gallery. Miller states, “Four Corners conjures images of location, direction, edges, boundaries a destination and even the entire planet. The Center can be one’s home life, an essence of an object, the soul, a state of being or a compositional element used to invoke power or focus. Even in an empty room or in a singular structure, the center remains a powerful position within any work of art.”
