Making an Impression:
Pioneering Latin American Printmakers
Making an Impression: Pioneering Latin American Printmakers presents a multigenerational group of four artists who have redefined printmaking through material and perceptual innovation. Featuring works by Rufino Tamayo, Jésus Rafael Soto, Regina Silveira, and Analia Saban, the exhibition highlights printmaking as a dynamic and continually evolving field of artistic experimentation. Together, works by these artists reimagine the boundaries of the medium beyond the flat page—exploring texture, spatial illusion, and the printed matrix itself.
About
Making an Impression: Pioneering Latin American Printmakers presents a focused, multigenerational group of three artists who have redefined the possibilities of printmaking through material and perceptual innovation. Bringing together works that expand the medium beyond the flat page, the exhibition highlights printmaking as a site of experimentation that explores the relationship between image, surface, and space.
Works by Rufino Tamayo (Mexican, 1899-1991), Regina Silveira (Brazilian, born 1939), and Analia Saban (Argentinian, born 1980) span a wide range of techniques, demonstrating the potential of printmaking as a dynamic field of artmaking. Tamayo’s groundbreaking Mixografías introduce sculptural relief and dimensional texture. Silveira engages optical vibration and viewer perception into spatial illusions that activate architectural space, and Saban reconfigures the material and technical foundations of the printed matrix.
Together, works by these artists position printmaking as a vital space of artistic invention—one that continually reimagines the boundaries of the medium.
