Art Brener
Art Brener’s serigraphs feature strong graphics, a contemporary sense of design, and a joyous use of color.
Brener has been a silkscreen printer since the early 1970s. He cuts all of his own stencils and prints all of his own prints, using archival inks and archival paper. The result of this personal control is usually a short edition of exacting and exuberant prints.
Since the mid-90s, Brener works only with non-toxic printmaking materials. All of his inks are water-based. His stencils are usually mylar and available household items such as freezer paper, wax paper and blank newsprint. Using water-base and acrylic inks, he still achieves the dense, bright, rich and splashy colors that give his graphic designs and silkscreen prints his singular touch. His graphic prints have been exhibited at the Jenkintown Festivals of the Arts , the Cheltenham Center for the Arts, P.S. Gallery in Chestnut Hill, and various art shows around the eastern Montgomery County area.
Brener’s early work demonstrates his interest in graphic shapes and dimensional perspective. Once he began working with water-base inks, his style progressed from the graphic to more loosely abstract editions. Currently, his prints have evolved even further, with much of the recent work being screenprint monotype editions of one.
