To the Finish: The Art & Process of Greg Montgomery
Jul 29, 2016 - Nov 27, 2016
To the Finish: The Art & Process of Greg Montgomery delves into the artist’s creative process. The show of thirty-five fine art prints and preparatory materials features Montgomery's early serigraphs (silkscreen prints), drawings, and cut-paper studies as well as giclées printed with the innovative ink-jet printing technology which was embraced by fine art print makers by the mid-1990s for the resulting realistic colors, detail, and faithfulness to the original medium.
Montgomery states of his process, “When beginning a drawing or illustration, it is the composition of a scene that catches my eye. I see the shapes, the darks and lights, the colors and balance or tensions within the scene. I seek to simplify what I see into flat solid shapes of color with hard edges and high contrast, creating strong focal points and aligning elements within the artwork to focus your view.”
This exhibit is sponsored by NSLM Vice Chairman of the Board Mrs. Jacqueline B. Mars and David E. Greenhill.
