Highpoint is honored to present a group of captivating prints created in collaboration with Julie Buffalohead. A member of the Ponca tribe of Oklahoma and primarily known as a painter, Buffalohead’s new prints call upon a personal iconography of anthropomorphized animal protagonists. Themes are drawn from Native American legend and history, politics, contemporary culture, power, parenting, stereotypes, and identity.
A significant new body of work by internationally renowned artist Willie Cole. The works created in collaboration with Highpoint Editions include 27 intaglio and relief prints of ironing boards, a series of small and large screenprinted iron patterns juxtaposed in eye-popping colors, as well as a large woodcut depicting two female forms comprised of women’s high heeled shoes and echoing themes and techniques Cole has employed in his sculptural work.
David Rathman returned to Highpoint Editions during summer 2011 and finished up work on a spectacular large-scale diptych of a demolition derby car and truck. The images are lithographs in black and are hand water-colored by the artist. Both vehicles are tiled into multiple prints, emphasizing their quirky, deconstructed/ reconstructed quality and the scale reflects the physicality of their subjects.
Based in Mexico City and well-known internationally, Amorales embraces a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach to creating his art. While working with Highpoint Editions, his strategy of replication and reconfiguration of his Liquid Archive — a collection of drawings that he has assembled over the past decade — led to the production of wonderful new prints.
