Elke Claus: Skyscape

@ Morpho Gallery

5216 N Damen Ave, Chicago, IL 60625

Opening Friday, June 2nd, from 6PM - 10PM

On view through Thursday, June 22nd

In “Skyscapes” handmade prints depict “the cosmic” in overlapping patterns, high-key colors and lush textures. Instead of stars, moons, and clouds being rendered as natural and universal; these skies are highly stylized and indicative of period graphic styles. Each piece combines the use of lithography and silkscreen printing and is made with handmade fluorescent ink or metal leafing. The result is an exploration of the essence of the hand- printed mark: a look that defies the flatness and limited palette of digital printing. Each print is one of a kind, yet all are created using repetition and photomechanical imagery. The artwork reveals a love of all things “printmaking” and a desire to celebrate the aesthetics of ink on paper.
