One of the places I thought I would be sure to find at least a certain amount of artists working on the 'edge' of printmaking technologies was the IPCNY (International Print Centre, New York). http://www.ipcny.org/
The IPCNY which has been up and running since the turn of the
century, mainly puts on exhibitions of contemporary printmaking although they occasionally show older works.
And I was right – I located several artists there, starting with Russell Crotty (USA), who has quite a presence on the internet, so I have just included a link here to his results on Google: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&as_q=&as_epq=… I was not, however, able to find examples of further 'tradigital" work by him.
The piece featured here is an inkjet with silkscreen and is circular, which seems to be a signature form of Crottys work. He is seriously interested in Astronomy and it influences his output considerably as a fine artist.
Next we see the work of Carroll Dunham, this one is intaglio and inkjet,
With a considerable curriculum vita it is hard to know what to say that might encapsulate what this artist is about. He makes artworks that have biomorphic feel and they are almost cartoon like. To me his work seems to issue from somewhere within the ‘zone’ of “Abstract Expressionism”. As with Russell Crotty there are numerous website references to his work and so it remains open to the reader as to where to look first though perhaps M.o.M.A., http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?… might be a good place to start. He has shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and has prints in their collection of ‘prints and illustrated book’.
Manuel Castro Cobos. Is an artist I seem to remember spotting in an art gallery when I was studying for my Masters in Barcelona. I seem to remember at that time that he made images that were very simplified almost mummy like icon/shapes. Perhaps they were paintings I cannot remember very well. This does seem possible as my research indicates that he is a artist residing in Cordoba ,Spain. He teaches in a University in that region. I find that there’s something I like about his work. This piece of his is a woodcut and digital print. I noticed another version of this print, in the Wrexham Print International 2007
http://www.wrexham.gov.uk/english/community/arts_c…
The two versions of this print, appear to be printed on diary pages which perhaps he has scanned and then printed out using archival inkjet pigmented ink.
