Natural Interactions - works on paper
OSBORNE AND WOODSON GALLERIES
Alix Hitchcock’s current colorful works on paper are one-of-a-kind gelatin monotype prints with themes of humans and animals and their relationship to each other and their natural environment. The pieces’ abstracted environments use a silhouette format so that the images create layers of transparency, ambiguous spatial relationships, and recognizable, but still mysterious forms—leading to colorful, movement-filled compositions, which may have an undertone of danger or anticipation.
The works are created by printing on a gelatin plate using hand-drawn stencils with water-based printmaking inks and sometimes the addition of colored pencil. Hitchcock wants to communicate with the viewer a sense of awe in the presence of Nature, and bring the viewer into each artworks’ world of movement and mystery.
