We are pleased to announce a new series of monotypes by Brad Brown titled ’Okina.

The monotypes in the ’Okina series are doubles; the prints are divided into upper and lower halves. Brown worked on two plates simultaneously. Sometimes the images on the plates were mark-for-mark copies of one another; other times one image was a riff or a variation on the other. The resulting image was hidden until the upper and lower plates were run though the press. The plates met in the center of the page in the seam, or joint. Where the plates met at the joint there was a kiss, this became literally the crux of the matter.

The ’Okina monotypes have been printed on White Rives BFK paper 22¼ x 15 inches. They are $2,000 each.

Contact us to request images of all available prints in the series.
