ATELIER FÜR BUCHKUNST

Annegret Frauenlob / Atelier für grafik und Buchkunst vakti athygli fyrir mjög gott handbragð og falleg bókverk að öllu leyti. Nútímalegt form og litameðferð skemmtileg.

Annegret Frauenlob / Atelier für Grafik und Buchkunst. Noteworthy for excellent  craftsmanship, beautiful book art overall. Modern form and colour technique, lovely work.

FLYING FISH PRESS – JULIE CHEN

Flying Fish Press – Julie Chen: Half-century. Julie Chen og letterpress bókverk hennar fara ekki framhjá neinum.

Flying Fish Press – Julie Chen: Half-century, letterpress. Works by Julie Chen were impressive.

NANCY LOEBER

Nancy Loeber: Það var eitthvað heillandi við þessar fölu andlitsmyndir unnar með tréristum, sem hún svo brýtur upp með því að líma stundum yfir ákveðin svæði með pappírsklippi.

Nancy Loeber: There was something fascinating about these pale faces and soft images (woodcuts), the artist then brakes up by using collage and various paper bits, making each book unique. 

KYOTO MATSUNAGA


Kyoko Matsunaga, notar þunnan vaxborinn, japanskan pappír í sín verk

Kyoko Matsunaga, uses thin waxed Japanese paper. 

REDFOXPRESS

Redfoxpress, Ireland. Þessi verk skáru sig úr fjöldanum. Mikill kraftur og gleði og dálítið kaótískur heildarsvipur.

Redfoxpress, Ireland. I noticed these works because they were quite apart from the rest. A bit chaotic but so much energy and joy!

IN CAHOOTS PRESS – MACY CHADWICK 

In Cahoots Press – Macy Chadwick, er í forsvari fyrir In Cahoots Residency. Afar fögur prentun. Verk hennar má skoða hér.
