A Few Famous Printmaking Artists

By Clara Berta


Carol Odell chose painting as her way of expression when she was young and decided to go to art institution. Ever since finishing a BFA from the Boston Museum School / Tufts University in 1967, she has made art and design part of her lifestyle. After discovering a few media after some time, she has opted for oil paint as her preferred medium for its working features and richness of color. Gouache as well as monotype works on paper enhance her much larger oil works on canvas, wood panels and folding screens. Taking care of the Odell studio / gallery has given her with the satisfying experience of direct contact and connections with lots of enthusiasts of her work. Her work is also currently represented by the Rice / Polak Gallery in Provincetown, MA and in many juried group exhibits in the New England region. She exhibits frequently with the Monotype Guild of New England of which she had been president for three years.

David Smith-Harrison came to be in Salt Lake City, Utah where he has spent the greater part of his existence. In 1977 he was awarded a Utah State Sterling Scholarship, prior to going on to be schooled at the South Glamorgan Institute, Cardiff, Wales in 1983 as well as the University of Utah, Salt Lake City in 1984.

His highly original printmaking, that combines traces of Renaissance form architecture with vividly rendered natural things, relies on his fascination for drawing. "Drawing is of central importance to me," he states, "it is a tool for developing my powers of observation and memory."

The fragile process of printmaking carries a much higher aspect of surprise. Smith-Harrison loves this somewhat unstable delivery of his concepts. He states "I am attracted to the infinite possibilities of impressing ink onto paper and I find the unique textural characteristics of prints to be stimulating, seductive, and full of subtlety and nuance." It is a time-consuming method inherited from the wonderful engravers of the Renaissance, a period that in particular fascinates Smith-Harrison. He stresses that his interest in previous artistic traditions will be as essential to him as his connection with present life.

Smith-Harrison's high artistic standing has guaranteed tremendous exhibition of his work. He has displayed several solo and group exhibitions across California. His work was likewise exhibited at the Evergreen Graphic Art Association, Taipei Cultural Centre, Taiwan in 1993.

Additionally, Smith-Harrison has took part in numerous juried exhibitions. Among these include the Ashland University Printmaking Invitational Exhibition, Ohio, where he displayed work in 1999; National Printmaking, College of New Jersey, Trenton in 1997, Tokyo International Mini-Print Triennal 95, Japan; 65th National Print Exhibition, Society of American Graphic Artists, Federal Plaza, New York in 1993 as well as US-UK Print Connection, Barbican Centre in London in 1989.
