March 9 – May 27, 2018
Opening Friday March 9 at 5pm - all welcome.
Whangarei Art Museum is pleased to present In Series, an exhibition by Northland-based award-winning artist printmaker Mark Graver.
Printmaking lends itself to series-based work. There is a long tradition of editioning and working in
suites, collected folios or narrative sets (Hogarth's Rake's Progress, Picasso's Vollard Suite, Goya's Disasters of War, Hokusai's Views of Mt Fuji etc. By Working 'In Series', Graver allows for a wider and deeper exploration, evolution and development of linked ideas.
In Series features eight interconnected bodies of work influenced by memory, place and time. Artworks correspond technically, conceptually and through content, often with related images being manipulated and developed from a single source to form bodies of work with multiple, non-hierarchical entry and exit points.
