Jeffrey Keith, 2012 – 2nd Project at OG

Denver based artist Jeffrey Keith came for a week this October for his second project with Oehme Graphics and with Master printer Sue Oehme. Jeffrey created sixty six prints, all monotypes or monoprints. Jeffrey is known for his depth of knowledge and expression of color relationships, and for this project he was inspired by the fall colors in Colorado and walks through the aspens.  Small October #1-#21 is a beautiful and bright series  of 12” x 12” prints at $800 each. He put together two larger series entitled October #1-#26 and Five Series #1-#9 at 19” x 19” and 24” x 24” respectively. Jeffrey also added four prints size 18” x 18′ to his monoprint series entitled V Series by reusing plates from his last project as a layer in his prints. Lastly Jeffrey configured four moving and gorgeous prints entitled X-Three #1-#4.

We had a signing party for Jeffrey after his week of printing–thanks to everyone that joined us! It was a great time. We did a printing demo to demonstrate how we make a Jeffrey Keith original–layering pieces of vellum that Jeffrey paints on and carefully deciding which piece to go with what and how each layer will affect the final piece. (The print above is from the demo!)
