From the Studio: Viridian Press

The history of printmaking in Australia is rich and diverse and this exhibition, drawn from the studio of Viridian Press, will provide context to the tradition of artists who have worked collaboratively with specialist printers who assist them to interpret and realise their work in print media. Viridian Press was founded by master printer John Loane who studied printmaking at the Victorian College of the Arts during the 1970s and in 1981 was the founding director of what is now known as the Australian Print Workshop. Since establishing his own workshop, Loane has worked with a wide range of artists including Brent Harris, Aida Tomescu, Peter Tyndall and Louise Forthun.

Free public talks will be held at the Melbourne Art Print Fair each day.

Talks will feature artists, print makers, print agencies and curators from Linden New Art.

Learn all about prints and the various methods of printmaking as well as hear from leading contemporary artists and expert printers about the highly skilled process of creating limited edition original prints.

A what’s on list of programs will be posted on our Instagram each day of the Fair.

Look out for the ‘10 Minute Sessions’ to be held within the Fair, where artists in conversation with a print specialist, will be asked 5 key questions on their print on exhibition and their practice.
