About
Making an Impression: Pioneering Latin American Printmakers presents a multigenerational group of four 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), Jesús Rafael Soto (Venezuelan, 1923–2005), 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, while Soto’s graphic works engage optical vibration and viewer perception. Silveira extends these formal devices into spatial illusions that activate architectural space, and Saban transforms the printed matrix through material and technological innovation.
Together, works by these artists position printmaking as a vital space of artistic invention—one that continually reimagines the boundaries of the medium.
