Printers Choice Opens September 20th at Flatbed
A Group Exhibition Featuring Flatbed Prints Selected by Flatbed’s Printers
Flatbed is proud to present Printers Choice, a group exhibition showcasing works chosen from Flatbed’s deep inventory and collection by Flatbed’s own printers. The exhibition will run from September 20 through October 11, 2025, with a public opening reception on Saturday, September 27 from 4 to 6 PM.
Printers working within Flatbed selected works throughout the collection, many inspired by the technical complexity showcased within the pieces, as they have a personal understanding of the printing processes. The chosen works reflect the regard that our artists have for printmaking as well as respect and admiration for the artists represented.
Along with the chosen pieces, we asked our printers to provide insight into their decision for the selection, in order to provide viewers an insider’s point of view to engage with the works. Below are a few examples:
Billy Hassell, “ Rookery, High Lisland,” color lithograph, edition of 36.
“Billy Hassell’s ‘Rookery, High Island’ shows an intimate understanding of form and shape through beautifully stylized depictions of flora and fauna. The bold color blocks and gradients work in tandem to take my eye through the entire piece again and again.”
– Kate
“Briggs’ series of haunting yet poignant images explore scenes of cartel violence and her own experiences working with the mental asylum Vision En Action, as she visualizes poet Mark Strand’s words in a deeply personal, introspective manner. I was most impressed with Briggs’ dedication to the technical complexity… as she recalls her own experiences and those of the communities she cared for.”
– Andy
The exhibition features works by:
Terry Allen, Connie Arismendi, Linda Ridgway, Spencer Fidler, Annalise Gratovich, Adrian Armstrong, Bob Schneider, Alice Leora Briggs, Billy Hassell, John Cobb and Judy Youngblood.
With a variety of artists, styles, and prints, Printers Choice is a unique opportunity to experience the expansive world of printmaking through the eyes of printers.
