Kraig Binkowski

To be added

I have been making prints for almost 30 years since pulling my first proof off an ancient Charles Brand etching press in college.  Throughout my years of printmaking, I have created imagery that explores the play of light across figures and surfaces. Always concerned with process and the inherent and distinctive qualities of mark-making in woodcuts, I celebrate the richness of the medium – my woodcuts are recognizably “of wood” and never hide the distinctive beauty of carving into wood.Some of the universal ideas that weave through all of works are isolation in the urban environment, sadness and tranquillity, nature’s interaction with modern life. In all his prints, Kraig is interested in an honesty of mark making—emphasizing the natural qualities of the wood block and the expressiveness inherent in using woodcut tools to carve images into it. The image and the wood and tools used to create it live harmoniously in each wood cut.
