Rich and Timeless



 
IMPRESSION | EXPRESSION
An exhibition of work by Holly Dean and Larry Thompson
Including lino prints, woodcuts, mixed media art, book arts, altered images and letterpress books.
 
Our joint exhibit at Studio22 Open Gallery in Kingston, Ontario is on for 5 more days! It winds up on Sunday, December 18th.

We visited the exhibit again a couple of days ago and were just as excited and "Wowed" by it. It is wonderful to experience a feeling of awe about your own work, beautifully displayed in a professional gallery setting.
 
Studio22 is an amazing space. The artful way the exhibit is set up really lets you "explore and discover". There is a theatrical atmosphere, created with lighting, music and backgrounds. Brick walls alternate with black partitions, dark walls and velvet curtains. The art and the space enhance each other. We are thrilled to be here!

Impression | Expression

What do you get when you put letterpress printing and mixed media art together? An exciting joint exhibit at Studio22 Open Gallery in Kingston, that's what!!!


My love of calligraphy, medieval manuscripts, nature and gothic architecture inspires my evocative, abstract mixed media artwork, altered images and book arts.

Larry's love of typography informs his use of the ancient techniques of bookbinding, block printing and letterpress printing to create illustrated broadsides, prints and books.

In our work, we share the use of line, text and design. As individual artists, our work expresses a pleasing contrast between rich layers of colour and texture, and the tactile black and white impression of letterpress...
