A Winter Salon

The Silas-Kenyon Gallery is pleased to present our Annual Holiday Salon featuring works by Provincetown Printmaker Kathi Smith from December 21, 2001 through January 2002.

The White Line or “American” printmaking process was developed in Provincetown and taught directly to Ms. Smith by one of its originators, her grandmother, Ferol Warthen. Hers is the only medium of print using only one block of wood for the process, rather than one for each color as in traditional Japanese and German methods of woodblock printing. The process involves the painstaking, time-consuming carving of a block of wood, often pine. Paint is applied to the wood, one color at a time and transferred to the paper.

Ms. Smith’s work is elegant and complex; her use of color smartly supports the work’s placement in a variety of living or workspaces.
The Holiday Salon is a wonderful opportunity to view new and established images by Kathi Smith, set at prices which will entice the seasoned collector and new buyer as well.

Also on view will be works by Barbara Cohen, Polly Burnell, Amy Kandall, Sal Randolph, Liz Carney, Doug Padgett, and David Mamo.

Gallery hours are Thursday through Sunday from Noon until 5 p.m. (8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday).

We are located at 494 Commercial Street in Provincetown’s historic East End Gallery District. For more information please contact Michael Carroll at 508.487.4800 X 105 or email mcarroll@schoolhousecenter.com .
