New Prints by Jake Muirhead, by local contemporary
printmaker, is on view until January
23. The show consists of over twenty etchings,
aquatints, and drypoints, and represents
Muirhead’s exploration of the human figure
and invented landscapes. His prints exude
a rare intensity and liveliness, which can be
attributed to his working and reworking of his
intaglio plates. Muirhead earned his MFA in
Printmaking from GMU, is Associate Printmaker
at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center in MD, and is a
founding member of the print group Atelier
Four.
Our Winter Contemporary Show will open with
a nighttime reception on Friday, January 27,
and run until March 10. Over twenty different
contemporary artists, who use printmaking as
their primary medium for artistic expression,
will be selected for this show.
The Old Print Gallery specializes in contemporary
and early 20th century prints, from American
and local DC artists. Established in historic
Georgetown in 1971, the gallery has become
one of the most respected antique print and
map gallery in the United States, with an
extensive collection in American historic prints,
botanicals, Currier & Ives, Audubon’s, American
town views, and maps of the United States.
The gallery also specializes in conservation
framing, using archival-quality materials and
techniques.
