We are pleased to present a solo exhibition of Kumi Korf's recent intaglio prints. Based on western garden designs, these new prints take black and white architectural renderings of gardens and transform them with layers of saturated color and overlapping shapes.

Asked about her process the artist responds "It is a magic moment, each time when the dampened paper is peeled off from the plate, revealing the transferred image from plate to paper. I love the surface of the copper plate, polished, worked, inked, and wiped. My technique of intaglio printing is traditional, however the experience is more like painting than printing for me."

A new color catalogue of Kumi Korf's work will be available in May.

We will be exhibiting at the ArtPad Fair at the Phoenix Hotel May 17 - May 21. (our fair has a pool!) Room #19 (ground floor, near the pool)

Kumi Korf's work is included in the Recent Acquisitions exhibition at the United States Department of State Art Bank Program in Washington DC summer 2012.

The film Hidden Books: The Art of Kumi Korf will screen at the National Museum for Women in the Arts on June 3rd 2012. www.nmwa.org
