With origins in China c. 220 CE, printmaking spans millennia of technical development and innovation. From religious and decorative woodblock on silk prints to European innovations like etching, print media is continually transforming. From a utilitarian reproduction method into a sophisticated and recognized fine art form, printmaking has continued to evolve through diverse technical innovations.
Etching, made possible with the adoption of the printing press in Europe in the 15th century, allowed for unprecedented levels of detail and expression. The advent of lithography in 1796 further expanded the medium's creative potential. By the mid-20th century, screen printing gained prominence through the Pop Art movement, which highlighted silkscreen’s commercial aesthetic to redefine the boundaries of fine art.
For this exhibition at Muse, members were invited to display their relationship with print. The result highlights the exceptional technical and artistic range of our artists, featuring a diverse array of methods including lithography, silkscreen, risograph, giclée, etching, and gel printing. This selection serves as a showcase for the sophisticated craftsmanship and creative versatility inherent in contemporary printmaking.
Busy
November 2025
We are all so busy juggling responsibilities, deadlines and the constant pull of everyday tasks, leaving us barely any time for our own creative moments. We love being in the studio more than anything, yet with so much to manage and so many directions pulling us, our own personal projects are often pushed aside.
The pace of modern life can leave us all exhausted, overwhelmed and worn down. Our show here highlights the many ways we experience “busy” - Whether we are occupied with tasks, overloaded with schedules, mentally preoccupied, or socially in demand-
revealing how easily life can become cluttered and chaotic.
In bringing this work together, we hope to create a space where pause, reflection and creativity can rise above the noise, reminding us the value of slowing down
and making time for what truly matters.
On Food
January 2025
Sustenance, nourishment, provisions, comestibles, fare, grub, chow.
While we can use many words for “food”, it’s uniquely universal. Whether preparing, serving or enjoying it, we all need need, love, and have our own associations with food.
​
From celebrations of its visual quality through still-life paintings to more conceptual takes, Muse members here present through their work what “food” evokes for them.
Tranquility
October-December 2024
Tranquility has a different meaning for all of us. To some, it would be stillness or quiet; a peaceful walk through the woods or contemplating the beauty of nature. To others it can be comfort and calm in the company of friends.
In these turbulent times, an age of constant busyness and efficiency, finding space to connect with our personal tranquility can be challenging. For this display, Muse artists were asked to represent their ideas of calm, or present different aspects of stillness. Moments when we are at peace, as well as forces that can encroach upon it, are all represented.
It’s uniquely fitting as Muse represents an island of tranquility for many of the members and guests who set aside time to give themselves a chance to find calm amidst the chaos.
