Juror: Kenturah Davis

An inspiring young artist who creates language-based work between Los Angeles and Ghana. She received an MFA from YALE, several notable awards and residencies, worked at Gemini GEL and currently teaches art at Occidental College. Recently she had a solo show at Jeffrey Deitch NYC. She has been selected to participate in a large scale permanent installation, “Sonder” as part of the new Crenshaw/LAX LA Metro line.

Honorees: Betye and Alison Saar

Los Angeles Printmaking is honoring two influential and empowering LA artists whose passionate and powerful visions have transformed the history of contemporary art. Using printmaking as a bridge for their dynamic expressions in installation and assemblage, they have provided inspiration for printmaking and opened new territories for art to explore.

Theme

Excellence is the theme for the 22nd National along with our Juror, our Honorees and our venue host, Mixografia, all notable for their explorations of the possibility and potential of printmaking as a multi-dimensional art form, we hope to encourage artists everywhere to likewise challenge and explore their own creations.

LAPS would like to thank Dick Blick Art Materials and Hiromi Paper for supporting the LAPS 22nd National through the Artist Materials Awards.
