This method deeply influenced some late 19th-century Post-Impressionist artists, such as Van Gogh, Toulouse Lautrec, Edgar Degas and Edouard Manet.Īt Tokyo National University of the Arts, students studied the treasured historical skills and tools of Moku Hanga with greater understanding and appreciation. While in the Western tradition, oil-based ink is applied with a roller and printed onto the papers surface, often with the help of a press, in the Japanese tradition water-based ink is applied with a brush and, while being printed by hand, is pressed deeply into the absorbent Japanese paper. In Summer 2018 Professor Jimin Lee took a group of UCSC Art students to Japan to learn Japanese woodblock printmaking “Moku Hanga” known as the “Ukiyo-e technique” widely studied by artists today. His works have beenĭisplayed in various exhibitions around the world and received distinctions like the CIEC Foundation Grant 2018 (Spain) or the 2nd Prize of the Manuel Belgrano Printmaking Award (Argentina). He now lives on the cold hostile grounds of Berlin, continuing to work on his series. These works depict fragile persons that get united through the “Person Unification Device” (an object that resembles a mattress), then travel together through a world of desolate swimming pools and tiled bathrooms, and at the end, enter the “Separation Device” (technically a turnstile).
SILKSCREEN PRESSES SERIES
Having suffered some short but intense romantic affairs with animation movies, installations and theatre, he managed to stick to his true love called intaglio printmaking, once introduced to him by his good ol’ pal, the pencil.ĭuring his stay in Buenos Aires from 2012 to 2017, he began working on a series called ”Person Separation Device“: detailed figurative etchings, aquatints and drawings, the majority of them large monochrome prints with subtle color accents. Our fourth visiting artist Tobias Crone will be working on his new print and drawing projects at the center from April 10 through May 13, 2019.Īfter growing up in the swamps of the Northern German province, Tobias Crone studied printmaking at the Art Academy of Groningen in the Netherlands. In the fall quarter a solo exhibition of the awardee’s work will be presented at the CPMRC. This award comes with a $400 credit toward material purchases in the UCSC paper store and the privilege of being an artist in residence (for four to six weeks), provided with a personal studio space at the Contemporary Print Media Research Center (CPMRC) during the summer break.
We also consider how this student has contributed as a good citizen and community member in the UCSC printmaking environment, as we hope this awardee can become a possible future leader in the field. With this award, we acknowledge and honor an outstanding undergraduate student whose work as a printmaker demonstrates excellence, dedication and passion.
The Annual UCSC ‘Outstanding Undergraduate Printmaker’ Award Having graduated from UCSC with a BA in Studio Art in 2019, she now lives in Silicon Valley, California and continues to seek beautiful messes. For her, it combines the elements of painting and drawing that she enjoys, but adds a satisfying process and comforting permanence in knowing that more of the image can be made. After spending much time working in the print studio, she realized that her true love was intaglio printmaking. Brown transferred to UC Santa Cruz in 2017 from Foothill College in Los Altos Hills with zero knowledge or interest in any kind of printmaking.
