Gareth Maguire has been creating work with Flatbed's Master Printer, Veronica Ceci, over the past two years. Recently he began a series of monoprinted works that push his images on paper into the 44" x 30" range. His mode of operation is to paint and apply printing ink directly onto sheets of Plexiglas which are printed over another image he created with Ceci using a hand-printed stone lithograph. The results are stunningly vibrant and the work explores science and beauty in a 21st century manner recalling La Gioconda, also known as Mona Lisa, by Leonardo da Vinci.
Enjoy this video created by Tyler Crelia (tcrelia.com) of Maguire with Master Printer Ceci and assistant Sean Muldrow while at Flatbed Press. New images of the finished prints will soon be posted.
