The Bath House Cultural Center presents the printmaking exhibition “Entintado: Inked Visions from the U.S. and Mexico.”The show runs from December 7, 2024, to January 25, 2025.
Entintado stands as a testament to the rich tapestry of printmaking traditions weaving through the landscapes of Texas and other parts of the United States, as well as various regions of Mexico. This exhibition celebrates the long-lived heritage of traditional printmaking. With the masterful craftsmanship of artists spanning both sides of the border, the gallery transforms into a space for the exploration and celebration of this time-honored medium. DFW stands as an ideal location for the exhibition, given that many of the showcased artists call this region of north Texas their home. Furthermore, the area’s appreciation for printmaking as a favored medium among art patrons and creators alike adds an extra layer of significance to the showcase.
At the heart of Entintado lies an investigation into the diverse and intersecting visions of the participating artists, who use their creations as tools for personal exploration and to communicate their unique perspectives, weaving real or imagined narratives and offering unique expressions of their worldview. The prints serve as a reflection of personal contemplations, as artists engage in their craft for both communication and self-exploration. They delve into themes spanning individual perspectives, cultural heritage, identity, and the sheer joy derived from the act of mark-making in artistic creation.
Embraced for its versatility and communicative power, printmaking transcends borders, offering artists a platform to spread their messages to wider audiences. The Entintado exhibition serves as a bridge between these rich traditions, uniting artists across geographies in a celebration of creativity, diversity, and the enduring power of the printed image.
