Kevin Fletcher has developed and refined unique imagery informed by
architectural and industrial spaces photographed in his travels within the U.S. and abroad. His monochromatic approach to monotype uses both
additive and subtractive methods with extensive use of the brayer in surprising ways.
Emphasis will be on creating dynamic images using light, clear line, shapes, textures,
and quick motions.. Check out his show at Davidson Galleries, opening 5/7.
