Red Read is a portfolio suite of five screenprinted prints, created with Pyramid following the artist’s exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Known for combining text with painting and referring to historical master paintings, Aptekar chose to manifest the color red as emotional content for his narratives. He had been making a suite of such paintings in New York, when he was invited to create the printed suite. Trish Tillman and Bridget Sue Lambert donned masks to screenprint a lacquer finish (like a painting might have), after Oscar Ceron printed a lithographic sequence of reds. This added a glowing dimensional quality to the prints.
Printers: Oscar Ceron, Trish Tillman, Bridget Lambert
