MEET THE PRESS Spotlight on Printmaking at 313 Gallery Show Opens Mar. 17 in JC 2 Weekends Only

by Sally Deering The art of printmaking can be seen on everything from T-shirts and posters to commercial packaging, and fine art.

To artist Bruno Nadalin, who teaches printmaking at the Jersey City Art School, printmaking deserves some attention, so Nadalin curated a printmaking show that will feature artists who create in the medium.

Red Woman 1

by Alex Buzunov In the new show, Press Gang, which opens Sat, March 17, from 5-10 pm, Nadalin will feature the work of 30 printmakers at 313 Gallery in downtown Jersey City. On view for two weekends only, Press Gang will spotlight hand-made prints using printmaking methods like silkscreen, woodcut, linocut, letterpress, monotype, drypoint, etching, and lithography. All the work comes directly from the artist and/or in collaboration with a master print

maker; none of the work is digitally-manipulated.

“People may not be aware of the tradition of printmaking,” Nadalin says. “For the show, I cast a very wide net and reached out to artists I knew who worked in the medium.”

Onsmith, Sarah Fisthole, Stephen McKenzie, Victor Cayro, and Wendy Setzer.

“Prints and graphic media are at times not given the recognition they deserve,” Nadalin says. “Press Gang wants to celebrate the
