Opening Reception for the Artist, Friday January 9, 6-9PM
Gallery 16 is pleased to present the culmination of a year's work. Darren Waterston, in collaboration with Gallery 16 Editions, present The Flowering (The Fourfold Sense), a portfolio of thirteen original prints by Waterston, with original texts by writer and literary critic Tyrus Miller, exploring the senses and bodily experiences of Saint Francis of Assisi. The colorful images employ traditional and contemporary print forms including relief printing and digital pigment printing, as well as hand coloring by the artist.
The title of the portfolio, The Flowering, alludes to the Fioretti, (The Little Flowers), a medieval anthology of stories about Saint Francis of Assisi and his followers, which emphasizes the fantastic, the miraculous, and the sensational aspects of the saint's life. The portfolio of prints and letterpress broadsides by Tyrus Miller feature vividly sensuous descriptions of Franciscan ordeals and miraculous cures. In addition to the portfolio, five new original prints will be presented. Each print is 40.5" x 28.5" and published in a signed and numbered edition of 20.
Waterston's paintings, watercolors and murals have been exhibited internationally and are included in many permanent collections, such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the UCLA Hammer Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the Berkeley Art Museum, as well as the Fine Arts Museums
of San Francisco.
