Janis Provisor
Living on Laight

2002

About the Item

Color lithograph with metal leaf, Edition 30. Provisor returned to Shark’s in August 2002 to produce a new multi-panel lithograph, Living on Laight”. The rich surfaces of these beautiful panels are built up from numerous layers of ink on paper prepared with squares of composition gold, silver and copper metal leaf and metallic gold powder. These surfaces combine with the printed layers to achieve a tactile organic quality and an actual physicality. Provisor’s prints are abstracted from nature, “…it always comes back to nature. Internal…external…lumps and bumps, cells and twigs, and everything in between…pattern and accident together in one space…a lot like life for me”. These prints were during Provisor’s move back to the US after several years in Hong Kong. She says, “…as I was making these pieces I was well aware that my life was in transition. This body of work is in part the expression of my imminent move from East to West.”

  • At Sight of Sun (lark bunting)
    By Kara Maria
    Located in Lyons, CO
    Color lithograph, Edition 20. The artist describes this project: “Human activity is causing the mass extinction of plant and animal species at an alarming rate. I paint carefully rendered, miniature portraits of endangered animals into larger compositions to raise questions about Earth’s biodiversity crisis and the place of wildlife within increasingly unstable habitats. The swirling and exploding shapes and colors represent how our progressively chaotic environment is displacing fauna and the systems that support it. This lithograph includes an image of Colorado’s state bird, the lark...
