TOM BETTIN
Swept Away, Ink on Arches Fine Art Paper, 14″ x 14″
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Using monotype as a base, his images are subjected to several runs through the press creating a complexity that the average print does not usually endure. Occasionally, he further works the surface by adding chine collé (thin paper adhered with paste). Each element delicately complements the next. The result is a well-planned journey through an obscure yet somewhat familiar landscape. In addition, Bettin will be showing several oil paintings that produce a richly similar effect.
Tom Bettin earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Utah in 1976. He also attended painting and printing master’s workshops in Santa Fe between 1985-2000. He recently retired from teaching Visual Art at Judge Memorial High School.
