Bob Langnas: Small Prints
Free public reception 7-9 pm, August 3, 2007, Artist' gallery talk at 7:30 pm
On view at the Northern Arts Council Gallery from July 7 through August 31 is the work of printmaker Bob Langnas. The exhibition includes work from Langnas's "2nd Law Folio" series, as well as a variety of other small prints. His ongoing series "2nd Law Folio", begun in the late 1980s, consists of small prints, most measuring around 3 " square. The portfolio consists mostly of etchings, although silk screen, monotype, drypoint, and ImagOn elements are incorporated. "I have no idea how many prints I’ve produced as part of this series over the years - perhaps hundreds; most have been periodically sold off. Still, the project endures. I don’t foresee an ending to the series. When the portfolio began, the prints were intended as nothing more than technical experiments, attempts at establishing a formal vocabulary that I could apply to my larger, "more important" prints. Over time, however, the series began to take on a life - and title - of its own. Instead of serving as preparatory work for other prints, the "2nd Law Folio" began (for me) to parallel those other prints in intent and importance."
Hear more about Langnas' work at the free public reception and gallery talk on Friday August 3 at 7pm. The Northern Arts Council Gallery is located at 27 S. Florissant,Ferguson
The Northern Arts Council (NAC) Gallery is located in a newly renovated storefront
