From the brightly colored to the naturally muted,\u00a0Mesh\u00a0<\/i>offers a wide range of art\u00a0<\/span>that celebrates the possibilities of screenprinting.\u00a0<\/span>Thirty-four works and the same number of artists are featured in this exhibition. Selected from nearly 300 submissions, included artworks showcase both conventional and unconventional applications of the art practice.<\/p>\n

Pyramid is pleased to partner with The Washington Print Club and The Washington Print Foundation for\u00a0Mesh<\/i><\/span>. Through these partnerships, three $1,000 awards are offered to recognize excellence among the entries: Best Overall Entry, Best Work on Paper, and Most Innovative Entry.<\/p>\n

Mesh\u00a0<\/i>asked artists to consider the history of screenprinting, its technical contexts, and its diverse applications when submitting their work. The fine art of screenprinting has primitive antecedents as evidenced in the stenciled imagery on prehistoric cave walls. In modern times, artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein used stencil material attached to or embedded in a mesh of fiber, metal, or synthetic plastic filaments. The process has been applied in decorative arts, textile printing, advertising posters, street and political art, among other areas. Today, screenprinting has a widespread current presence in commercial signage, t-shirts, ceramics, furniture, and packaging.<\/p>\n
