2013 started with an awesome blog post by UGallery : blog.ugallery.com/post/40037585055/artist-of-the-week-karin-bruckner

2012 was a good year! On the heels of Studio Show 2012 in May there were the exhibition and auction at Good Question Gallery in NY in June, Sugar Art and Fashion Show in NY in July and the Small Art Exhibition at the Fibre Arts Gallery in Palo Alto, California. The year rounded out with shows at the Brooklyn Collective, AquaArtMiami and Arts78 in Harlem.
Last but not least, a few nice blog features and a west elm publication of 'AllThePresident'sMen' in their 2012 FALL CATALOG - Thank you west elm!

Want to know more about my process - read this interview on Printsy printsy.blogspot.com/2010/09/karin-bruckner.html

My work has been shown in various group shows and many have found a home in private collections here and overseas.

Hand pulled on an etching press my printmaking results in one of a kind, unique artwork with no two alike. Modern, contemporary, sometimes abstract images with a narrative twist and a unique sense of color.

The pictorial elements in my work derive from all kinds of matter (hence 'kbmatter) - the natural, found and man-made kind. I frequently customize the ready-made. In the process of layering shapes and colors a narrative emerges, straddling the line between printmaking and drawing, painting, collaging and transferring. Some of the pieces are not classic monoprints, they are a combination of techniques, a kind of printmaking+.
It always begins with making a mark in print. The pieces slowly reveal themselves in an ongoing dialogue, many evolving into variations of a theme.

Naturally online viewing doesn't fully live up to seeing the work in real time - but using the ZOOOOM tool will allow you to see the detail in each piece more clearly.
You will miss out on some of the embossing and textural quality captured on the beautiful printing paper. Most pieces have a gorgeous deckle edge, which adds significantly to the overall velvety feel of the work.

Again, all the pieces are original Artist's proofs, signed and dated. If you want to opt for a digital reproduction same or smaller size for reasons of affordability, please contact me.
Enjoy!
