Welcome to the Print Gallery
of Scott W. Parker Studios.
In 2001 Scott embarked on a new artistic adventure. Inspired by works
from the last century, Scott took his first cues from the urban landscape
surrounding his downtown Chicago studio. Then he used this new medium
to branch out and away from Chicago. Currently, working in New York,
Scott has begun to create larger and more complex prints using a larger
press. The work is really gaining depth and becoming more refined yet
all the new prints retain Parker's signature style
Each of these original works are printed in extremely limited editions
of twenty. Each print is numbered, signed by the artist and offered
for
sale with
matte
and includes authentication papers. If ordered soon enough, it is
possible
to secure an entire series of same numbered prints, but please call
to verify this availability, as this opportunity will soon be gone.
For those new to the art of block printing, in brief, the process
involved in the creation of these prints requires that a drawing is
made to
lay
out
the design.
Next
the drawing
is
transfered
in reverse onto a printing block. Then the drawing is carved out of
the block using fine carving techniques to achieve the correct perspective
and create depth within the finished image.
Each of these early images is printed on Legion Strathing paper which
is 13 inches by 10 inches. The matting is cut to fit the actual printed
image.
Authentication
papers include the date of the printing, the print number, and a copy
of the plate destruction proof, as well as other required information.
