Gerard McDonagh
As an artist and gallery owner, my work centers around the tactile and transformative nature of printmaking. In each piece, I seek to capture the intricacies of both the creative process and the timeless beauty of original prints. I’m drawn to the delicate balance between intention and spontaneity, where traditional techniques meet the unexpected outcomes unique to each print.
My gallery showcases an evolving collection of original prints, each an exploration of texture, tone, and form. Printmaking, for me, is a dialogue between artist and medium—each layer, each press of the plate, revealing something unanticipated yet deeply intentional. Through my work, I aim to invite viewers into this intimate process, encouraging them to experience the art not just as observers but as part of the narrative that each piece tells.
In presenting my work, I hope to shed light on the discipline and artistry of printmaking, a craft that demands patience, precision, and respect for tradition. By sharing my prints and the story behind their creation, I strive to deepen appreciation for this medium and its enduring place in contemporary art.
