“Seven Down”
Serigraph

“Seven Down” is a limited edition elimination stencil serigraph (screen print). Keith drew the layout and then traced it to the fabric of the screen. Screen block out was applied to the screen fabric where he wanted the paper to stay white. He then printed the first colour which was the light green. The ink covered the entire area where the white wasn’t. He kept blocking further and further areas as he printed each colour. The last area open to receive ink was for the final colour which was the red. The technique is called elimination since you eliminate areas of the open screen between each colour.

Seven Down is in various collections including the City of Toronto Art Collection.

“Buffalo Skulls”
Serigraph from Scratchboard
18″ x 22″
$175

Keith says: “On one of our family trips out west we went to the museum at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump World Heritage Site. Totally enjoying the experience, I took a photo of a display of buffalo skulls. Back in Ontario, I created a scratchboard work and gave it to my wife as an anniversary gift. The positive reaction from the public when viewing it at various shows lead to me creating a nine colour hand separated photo screen image, in a very limited edition. I loved the creativity of the translation of a work from one to nine colours. At the first show someone fell in love with the piece and bought one of the edition at the opening”.

Accepted in 1994 Arts Etobicoke Juried Show and achieved the Award of Excellence. Also accepted in Visual Arts Mississauga and Rivercrest Gallery juried shows.
