Description

Monotype is a method of printing that produces a single, unique print rather than a limited edition. In this direct method of printmaking the artist makes a painting on a plate which is then printed. For this piece the artist painted with watercolor directly on a sanded acrylic plate. The impermeable surface caused the paint to pool, settle and dry in ways distinctly different than on paper.. When completely dry the plate was run through a press, transferring the image onto damp paper under tremendous pressure.

The Artist

Judy Ledgerwood

Judy Ledgerwood is a contemporary artist based in Chicago. Since the 1980’s she has been exploring light, color, and space in paintings that combine the formal vocabulary of concrete abstraction with influences from pop culture to create vividly colored compositions. She combines decorative patterning, elements of textile design and other traditionally female crafts, with bold color and assertive brush strokes, traits associated with the historically male-dominated tradition of gestural abstraction. Often using stereotypically “feminine” elements, such as pastel colors and stylized floral patterns, Ledgerwood merges formalist and feminist concerns in works that are both sensual and subversive, with the ability to resonate beyond their initial impact.
