Grace Bentley-Scheck’s Artistic Pathway To Rendering Urban Structures
As a printmaker, memberGrace Bentley-Scheckcaptures the aesthetic form and details of urban buildings and architecture. Often focused on New York City, Boston, and Providence, her collagraph prints offer viewpoints that convey color, light, and texture in a way that takes you to
the place and moment that she experienced.
Through the collagraphy process, her prints are built in layers analogous to the creation of the structures that she focuses on. Beyond representing what she sees, her work reflects aspects of the structure’s daily use, historic evolution, and presence relative to where they are situated. A small collection of her prints can be seen on the 19 on Paperwebsite. Read More .....
