Monoprint with lithographic key, 2025 Image size: 32 x 24 inches Paper: 36 x 28 inches
Maguire's new monoprint series was born from grief, created in the wake of losing both of his parents. Each work explores a recurring headspace—a symbolic portrait of the mind—layered with affirmations, symbols, and shifting palettes. These are not just a series of portraits; they are maps of thought, resilience, and healing. Through repetition and variation, the series becomes a visual meditation on the power of language, memory, and the determination to move forward. These prints are meant as a kind of personal armour—bright, bold reminders that our internal narratives shape our ability to thrive.
Maguire drew the key image as a stone lithograph. Working with Master Printer, Joshua Orsburn, he printed the drawing with fourteen different monoprinted color variations that explore the narratives imbedded in the image.
Gareth's new monoprint series will be featured in the Flatbed booth at the upcoming Affordable Art Fair Austin to be held at the Palmer Event Center May 14 - 17th, 2025. To celebrate this event, Gareth and Flatbed are giving away one of the monoprints to one particpant who has entered the giveaway through Instagram! Read on to find out how to enter!
