David Row came to Oehme Graphics in December 2012 for a ten day project. David arrived with some arrangements of his random linear shape drawings with ideas on how to layer his images. There are six prints in his series of small steel plate etchings titled All in, Rougette, Inside Bet, Bonus, Odds, and Heat, which will be available as a set. David also created three large steel plate etchings titled High Roller, Aggregate, and Probability. Furthermore, he completed three copper aquatint etchings, with cut shaped plates, titled Lightrap Yellow, Lightrap Red, and Lightrap Emerald. The prints are based on three glass sculptures of David’s shapes. The light and volume that these prints capture is striking. Finally, David made six solar plate etchings, three have color tone using chine colle and three are printed in black and white. They are titled All or Nothing, Blind Bet, and Hold Em.
