ANDREW ROSE GALLERY HONOLULU
presents
CHARLES COHAN
WOODCUTS
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7 - FRIDAY OCTOBER 19, 2012
ANDREW ROSE GALLERY is proud to announce the upcoming exhibition of new large-format woodcut prints by University of Hawai‘i at M noa Professor of Printmaking and Acting Chairperson, Charles Cohan.
 Opening Friday, September 7, and running through Friday, October 19, 2012, the gallery will host a reception on Thursday, September 13, from 6 - 8pm and a talk with Professor Cohan on Thursday, October 18, from 6 – 8pm. The gallery will be open to the public both First Fridays, September 7, and October 5, from 6 – 9 pm.
These new works “are the culmination of working with photographic images of trees and foliage taken on my property in the Pacific Northwest’s San Juan Islands seen through an internal or visionary kind of representation. The prints layer external photographic imagery within what I see when I close my eyes and the memory of the image projects itself upon the inside of my eyelids. It is an attempt to capture an image of the layers within,” says Cohan. “Their size allows for a visual tenacity and graphic velocity to hopefully provide some sense of graphic overwhelm and thus absorb the viewer,” he continues. “I wanted to make them on a human scale that approaches enveloping the body, not just the head.” These works are unusual not only in their over-sized format, but also in the fact that the master printer only pulls one unique print off each run and in this way are more like paintings in their monumentality and rarity. “The pure physicality and aggressive nature of the media are aspects that keep me engaged, as well as the resistance and tension of cutting tools on the large wooden boards. The weight and density not only of the composition but also the object inform and affect the methodology of this kind of large-scale woodcut printmaking. The saturation of the ink under extreme pressure on paper is especially attractive - in fact, each 2-color print uses up to one full pound of ink.”
