February Redefining the Multiple: 13 Contemporary Japanese Printmakers Page | 2 Memorial Art Gallery 500 University Avenue Rochester, New York 14607 (585) 276-8900 The Grand Gallery. The history, theory and continuing popularity of print media in Japan have made printmaking a major course of study in universities and art schools there. As the individual practice of these 13 artists has evolved and matured, some of their work has transitioned into forms that, while utilizing tools and techniques of the printmaker, are often associated with sculpture, painting and digital media. The artists range in age from their mid-twenties to mid-sixties; they reside in different regions throughout Japan; and the visual content of their work ranges from formal abstraction to iterations of traditional Japanese cultural images.
