About the Item

Patty deGrandpre’s “Sighting (Tarantula Season)” is a unique abstract mixed media print represented on 11 x 14 inch Yupo utilizing concepts of both printmaking and creative photography. Being a transplant from coastal Massachusetts to New Mexico, the artist has found new inspiration as she embraces the flora and fauna of the Southwest desert. A common occurrence during tarantula mating season, a tarantula wondered into the artist’’s studio. Not missing a visual opportunity the spider was placed on her scanner prior to being put back outside. The scan of a tarantula, images of black and white rough terrain and type from a “handle with care” label are deconstructed, cropped and thoughtfully composed to create this one of a kind artwork. Combining applications of block printing ink on and within multiple layers of digital inkjet, DeGrandpre creates artworks that seamlessly combine the pictorial with the abstract. The artist earned her BFA in Visual Design is 1987. Her esthetic, elegant use of tone and form, and creative approach have a graphic sensibility that is evident in her art work. This print is signed under the right hand corner of the image and will ship flat in a protective sleeve ready for the frame of your choice. DeGrandpre has exhibited throughout the United States including three solo exhibitions. deGrandpre’s work has been featured in various periodicals as well as being the recipient of various awards in both Fine Art and Printmaking. She is represented by Fountain Street Gallery based in Boston, Massachusetts.
