About

'Underexposed' surveys the ways in which over 40 prominent female artists have used the medium of print over the last two centuries (and beyond). It features painters and sculptors, and highlights how print relates to their primary focus. It also looks at those who are or have been printmakers first and foremost, and why they have chosen to work in this particular artistic medium. At the same time, the exhibition examines the different types of prints, as well as the different subject matter chosen by the various female artists represented. The exhibition concept has received a lot of support from professional curators in both national and local institutions and in higher education. We feel it is an opportunity to educate both the art-going public and students on the importance of the print medium in western art history, and to celebrate the artistic achievements of female artists overall.
