An exciting collaboration of works by three dimensional painting pioneer Charles Hinman and Master Printer Gary Lichtenstein. A working relationship which began in 2011, this latest body of work continues their exploration into translating the visual vocabulary of Hinman’s signature hard-edged shaped canvas into the realm of prints. By combing a mutual understanding of color and use of subtle hand embossing, they have created a suite of prints that epitomizes the core of Hinman’s ideology.
