The Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair Has Taken Off Its Training Wheels
"The second iteration of BFAPF has expanded to include over 60 local, domestic, and international exhibitors including independent print shops, prominent publishers, academic printmaking departments and clubs, self-represented artists, and established galleries."
"Conceptualized by Gaelyn and Gustavo Aguilar of TUG Collective, executed by Shoestring Press's Allison Carter-Beaulé, and custom-framed by the team at Griffin Editions, 'Shape Shift' is a layered screenprint on several sheets of plexiglass illuminated by an LED light."
"The work, which is part of an ongoing series begun this year titled Don't Forgive My Hands, was inspired by veteran and poet Yusef Komunyakaa's collection of poems trying to capture how humans have weaponized objects for violence."
The Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair has expanded significantly in its second year, featuring over 60 exhibitors from various backgrounds, including independent print shops and established galleries. The fair emphasizes a blend of returning and new participants, showcasing both contemporary and traditional printmaking techniques. A notable piece, 'Shape Shift,' exemplifies innovative practices in printmaking, highlighting the intersection of art and social commentary. The event fosters a vibrant community dedicated to exploring the boundaries of printmaking and its historical significance.
