Disturbing the Surface Contemporary Printmaking by the American Color Print Society

Printmaking has always been about touching the surface—scratching, carving, inking, or pressing to bring an image to life. Disturbing the Surface celebrates this spirit of transformation, showcasing work by members of the American Color Print Society. To create a print, each artist alters a surface—a metal plate, woodblock, lithographic stone, or digital file. This modification, once transferred to paper, results in a final work as varied in mood and meaning as the techniques and artists themselves. The exhibition spans traditional and contemporary approaches, from etching and lithography to cyanotype, risograph, digital printmaking, relief, and screenprint. Visitors will find everything from bold, graphic compositions to delicate, layered impressions—proof that printmaking remains a vital and endlessly adaptable art form.
