'Okina 3

2012

About the Item

Color monotype. The ‘okina is the Hawaiian representation of the glottal stop. It is a separation of doubles. The monotypes in the ‘Okina series are doubles; the prints are divided into upper and lower halves. Brown worked on two plates simultaneously. Sometimes the images on the plates were mark-for-mark copies of one another; other times one image was a riff or a variation on the other. The resulting image was hidden until the upper and lower plates were run though the press. The plates met in the center of the page in the seam, or joint. Where the plates met at the joint there was a kiss; this became literally the crux of the matter.

  • "Untitled I"
    By Barbara Takenaga
    Located in Lyons, CO
    Color monotype. Barbara Takenaga's latest prints are a series of Untitled hand colored monotypes, which she describes as follows: Making these monotypes was a wonderful new experience for me. They combine a painterly, abstract background with a graphic structure of hard edged, flat forms. Those dark shapes can be read as either positive/foreground space (body silhouettes or curtains) or as negative space that frames a central image (landscapes, columns, creatures). Similarly, the white lines and dots...

  • "Beach Day '1B'" Mixed Media Abstract with bold blues, copper and gold accents
    By Linda Whittemore
    Located in Laguna Beach, CA
    Rich blues and golds are streaked with pearlescent accents that play across this beautiful abstract original work "Beach Day '1 B''" by master print maker Linda Whittemore. This mixed media viscosity monotype displays all of the unique skill and painterly touch of the artist, who draws her inspiration from the natural beauty that surrounds her on her home of Maui. This artwork is custom framed and ready to hang and enjoy! Linda works in a printmaking style called viscosity monotype, although she is trained in the traditional form of Intaglio printmaking. Her works are a story of color and mood, She continues to paint scenes around the island of Maui and further abstracts them in her studio using the printmaking process. Often, watercolor plein aire paintings are a prelude to her original monotypes. “It’s all a process, one medium leads to the next. We create from what we know or don’t know. My paintings are who I am.” Linda also has enjoyed painting the figure for many years. Linda began a life long relationship with watercolor painting at the age of eight. She studied two full years with the past president of the Watercolor Society, Roger Armstrong, as well as other teachers like Chris Sullivan, Hiroke Morinue, Richard Nelson...
