Madsen Erik
C. Madsen is a Bay Area artist who has studied at the University
of Toledo, California College of the Arts, and holds a B.F.A.
with an emphasis in printmaking from San Jose State University.
As an artist invested in the practice and craft of printmaking,
Erik finds inspiration in the colors, compositions, and landscapes
of Japanese wood block prints as well as the looseness and
spirit of Abstract Expressionism. He states, "I am constantly
looking for ways to develop and broaden the boundaries of
printmaking through experimentation and cross-pollination
of different techniques." Erik is the assistant to the
Master Printer at Smith-Andersen Editions in Palo Alto, California
which is known as a small artist's press that focuses primarily
upon the collaborative monotype. He has exhibited his prints
at Works, San Jose, CA; The Toledo Museum of Art, Toledo,
OH; and the Janet Turner Print Museum, Chico, CA. |
