KATHERINE RADCLIFFE ART

Floating Paints

April 10 - May 6th, 2011, The Arts Alliance of Haversraw, 91 Broadway, Haverstraw, NY

A History of Marbled Printing & The Art of Katherine Radcliffe

  • This exhibition showed examples of historical marbled printing, along with the unique contemporary adaptation of marbling by the artist.  Early drawings, prints and collages incorporating marbling are shown with current ” marbled paintings. ”  Done in a mandala format, with fine gold line painting following the contours of marbled backgrounds, these paintings suggest icons, illuminated manuscripts, or gold tooled designs found on rare books, and convey a sense of spirituality, serenity, and meditation.

A  virtual tour of the exhibition originally planned for the web site turned out not to be feasible, so a small selection of photos from the reception and images in the exhibit serve as a substitute.
