Come join us for an intriguing talk with artist Sebastiaan Bremer over a delicious breakfast spread and coffee.

Sebastiaan Bremer’s work originates from snap-shots taken by either him, friends or family, which Bremer enlarges as C-prints. What is locked in Bremer’s memory forms the ground work for each piece of his work. Once the right image is found, redeveloped and printed to size, Bremer starts to draw intricate webs of small dots and lines over the photographic surface. Paradoxically this process obscures sections of the original image whilst redefining other parts, adding a new content to each piece. Thin washes of colored ink are occasionally applied by Bremer creating imagery reminiscent to the colors you see when you close your eyes. The visceral quality of the work lies in its inventiveness and technical complexity, while the compositions have a fine balance between the intricate and bold.

Sebastiaan Bremer was nominated for a Publishing Residency by the Printshop's Art & Editions Committee in spring 2006. In collaboration with Master Printer Doug Bennett, Bremer has since created a suite of five etchings with archival inkjet printing. The suite will be publicly launched at the Editions and Artists' Books Fair, November 2 - 5, 2006. They will also be featured in Bremer's solo exhibition in Hales Gallery in London, October-November 2006.

In this talk, organized as part of the New York Print Week, Bremer will discuss his recent work, including the new publications, over complementary breakfast and coffee. The studios will be open for touring and our Master Printers will be at hand to discuss the printmaking process.
