Self Help Graphics & Art

In their first official father/daughter exhibition, Los Angeles based artists Frank and Sonia Romero will be showing a group of works selected to showcase the rich and creative world of printmaking.

Largely known as a painter and muralist, Frank Romero has been printmaking for forty years, including thirty years of silkscreen at Self-Help Graphics. Emerging artist Sonia Romero, also a painter, fell and love and specialized in printmaking at the Rhode Island School of Design, and has since incorporated printing into her primary media.

A large variety of techniques will be represented, such as silkscreen, linocut, lithography, wood engraving and mixed media mono-prints. This exhibition explores how printmaking can enrich the ideas and processes of an artist who is primarily painterly, and serves to promote the idea of printmaking as a valid and impressive art form on it own.

As their first collaborative effort, the two artists will be creating a brand new serigraph at Self-Help Graphics for the exhibition.
