In March 2010, DaVinci Art Alliance in South Philadelphia will feature three of its members in a print show as part of the Philagrafika city-wide new biennial. CONFLUENCE is intended to celebrate the possibilities and complexities of the printmaking worlds of Bobbie Adams, Rachel Citrino, and Linda Dubin Garfield.
They employ traditional and contemporary technologies using multiple and iterative processes. The convergence of these artists is their obsession with and love of mark-making….how their personal marks and the etch, the press, the pixels, dance. This is a celebration of the mark.
Let's celebrate and support local artists as well as international guest artists please!!
