Having lived outside of St. Louis for a few years, it was a nice surprise to get this link from Bruno David Gallery to a segment of PBS’ Living St. Louis spotlighting print artist Carmon Colangelo. The story ran in conjunction with his recent Bruno David Gallery solo exhibition, “From Big Bang to Big Melt”. To quote the exhibition essay, “Colangelo’s works push the physical and haptic qualities of the print, using new methods and transformative materials such as wax and iridescent inks. This new series was created in collaboration with master printer Dennis O’Neil at the Hand Print Workshop International (HPWI) in Alexandria, VA, a studio dedicated to innovative printmaking.”
The story is geared towards a mainstream audience (as you would expect) but still sheds light on Colangelo’s process and intent. Worth watching. Oh, and keep an eye out for a Tom Huck cameo appearance.
