Dan McCleary: Prints from Oaxaca

The Laguna Art Museum will present Dan McCleary: Prints from Oaxaca , featuring contemporary works by McCleary created in Mexico under the tutelage of master printer Fernando Sandoval between 2000-2017. The exhibition will examine prints McCleary made with Sandoval at the Taller de Grabado in Oaxaca, and will feature a variety of etchings and other forms of engravings, along with related paintings and drawings. McCleary’s Oaxacan subject-matter ranges from sugar skulls to portrait studies to floral still lifes, and many of these prints—completed as recently as the summer 2017—will be shown for the first time. Dan McCleary: Prints from Oaxaca will also aim to inform audiences about the subtleties of the various techniques of printmaking visible in the exhibition.
