New Artists!

So-Oh Fine Art is excited to get a piece of Steven Graber's charcoal pencil drawings that was critiqued in the New York Times with raves and was on tour to six Northeastern cities before coming to Lincoln where it is now for sale.  Along with this piece he brought three new pieces of a very different kind of work than we are used to seeing from him.  Fabulous and as always -- amazing.

Also I would like to introduce three new artists to the growing artists we so proudly represent.  Ron McIntosh is a painter who just joined the academic staff as an art instructor at the University of Nebraska, Kearney. 

Paul Flinders, an artist getting his masters at Kansas University was sent to us by Professor Swindell who you may remember from his years at the University of Nebraska.  He is very excited about this students work and when you see it you will know why. 

And, American Indian, Dolores Purdy Corcoran, brought us new work which we feel so privileged to have because of the Smithsonian having pieces by her in their permanent collection and now the new Indian Museum in Washington D.C. flies her out every year to demonstrate her mask making. She called and said Susan Serandon just bought one of her masks which was a thrill for Dolores.  And, Pendleton Wool picked her up and are selling her prints in their catalog.  Congratulations to those of you who bought her work before she became so famous. 

The talented Richard Austin has three new sculpture pieces showing with us and a very fun clock.  They are worth coming in to see, as well. 

Nicki Nix is bringing in her brand new designs so all of you men out there don't have to worry about what you are buying your wives for Christmas.  I have never seen a woman who was not excited about getting a piece of Nicki's because her work is so uniquely her and extremely special. 

Other exciting news is we have a new delivery of Deborah Mae Broads outstanding wood engravings coming in soon. Her work doesn't stay here very long before it is sold so you want to get here as soon as you can after it arrives.  We don't have a specific date or I would let you know.

Come in and see not only these three new artist's work but others we have added in the past six months. 

In November.....

We have some new work by Belinda Del Pesco. Also, we have a new arist . Come and see the work of Paul Flinders.


Print Appreciation

Processes of Original Print Making

Prints are one of the most misunderstood of all art mediums.  We are going to do our best at having examples of more than eight original print methods for this show.  We should all learn something from one of our many artists who have sent something to help us know their methods.  Stone Lithographs, Wood Engravings, , Ink Monotypes, Copper Etchings and more. 

The “Original Print Show” opens with a reception from 6 to 9pm this Friday during the November First Friday Art Walk.

The MoMA in New York defines a print as a work of art made up of ink on paper and existing in multiple examples excluding monotypes most of the time.  A print is created not by drawing directly on paper, but through an indirect transfer process.  The artists begin by creating a composition on another surface and the transfer occurs when a sheet of paper, placed in contact with this surface is run through a printing press in the same way.  The artist decides how many to make and the total number of impressions is called and an “edition.”  The lower the edition the more valuable the print is in most cases.  Each piece is an original artwork made by an artist.  The image is repeated but each piece is different than the other. 

Come in and see how many interesting and fabulous methods of printmaking are done today and what images come out of such unbelievably creative artists and so many different materials used in different ways.
