Patrick Mahon: Water Structures, Printed Sculptural Works: 2012-2014 - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Patrick Mahon is noted for his print-based projects that, by engaging with historical and contemporary aspects of printmaking, respond to gallery and museum collections. Mahon's work also establishes community-based art initiatives, including several regarding the environment. This publication features three major exhibitions held at various locations across the country. Together they provide an excellent overview of the artist's practice. With “Voyageur”, Mahon juxtaposes his graphic/wall sculptures with prints by Durer, Hogarth and by contemporary artists, thereby examining the critical role of visual art in moral teaching in the West. With “Water Memory Table” Mahon's printed sculptural installations reference shifting environmental conditions through an investigation of built structures. "Water and Tower Allegory” uses solids and liquids to produce provocative forms of invention and human enterprise. Patrick Mahon has exhibited widely throughout the country as well as internationally, most recently at La Maison patrimonale de Barthete, France (2011). Original essays and an interview with the artist explore the many facets of a singular artistic career.
