Simona Prives
New York–based artist Simona Prives partnered with pioneering master printmaker Dan Welden and print studio Brooklyn Editions to produce a new suite of works that merge traditional and alternative printmaking techniques. The series combines intaglio, soft ground etching, solarplate, archival pigment printing, and chine collé resulting in intricately layered imagery that bridges the organic and the man-made. Prives’ dreamlike landscapes, imbued with elusive openended narratives, are in editions of five. Each impression is individually collaged by the artist.
Prives holds an MFA from Pratt Institute and currently serves as an Associate Professor at the City University of New York.
Dan Welden is an internationally recognized artist, master printmaker, educator, and pioneer whose more than five decades of work have left an indelible mark on contemporary printmaking.
Welden is also the inventor of the Solarplate technique, a non-toxic, photopolymer-based process that introduced a safer, more sustainable alternative to traditional etching. Brooklyn
Editions, an artist-run fine-art print studio based in Brooklyn, specializes in hybrid and experimental methods, combining layered digital processes, mixed media, and precise analog techniques.

Kucka
Kathleen
Kathleen Kucka is a New York and Connecticutbased artist who holds an MFA from Hunter College and a BFA from Cooper Union. In the Summer of 2025, Kucka collaborated with printmaker Janis Stemmermann to create a new group of monoprints. The prints are created using a canvas stencil as the matrix which is then mounted on a mylar relief and inked with oil. This body of work is an extension of Kucka’s explorations of materials and techniques, visually creating geometric patterns, systems and other abstract imagery. The gallery will present the canvas matrix alongside its corresponding print, each impression becoming a narrative of the process.
Printmaker Janis Stemmermann works in ceramics, textiles, and printmaking. In 1987, she began her career as a collaborative printmaker, working as an assistant to Robert Motherwell’s master printer Catherine Mosley.
In 1992, Stemmermann set up her own press in Brooklyn, the Russell Janis Studio, enabling her to work with contemporary artists on collaborative printmaking projects. In 2025, the printing press was moved to Sharon, Connecticut. This is the third print project Russell Janis Studio has completed with Kathleen Kucka.
