I am honored to be included in Laura Berman’s interview series with print artists, Reflections on Color and Printmaking. Laura’s thought-provoking questions give us insight into the process of artists and how they incorporate and embrace color in their work.
“I make a point of looking for strange combinations of color and objects, because finding something unexpected in an artwork is my favorite thing.”
Allison Bianco is an artist living and working in Rhode Island (USA). Her approach to color is lively and curious, and her process of printmaking is controlled while also welcoming of unanticipated anomalies. Allison uses intaglio, screen print and hot foil stamping to create her delicate line work and vibrantly-colored prints. She also incorporates drawing and hand coloring in her work.
Currently, Allison is working on a recently awarded public art commission for New York City public school 671K in Brooklyn for a new, permanent site-specific artwork. The commission is through the New York City School Construction Authority, Public Art for Public Schools program in collaboration with the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, Percent for Art program for the collection of the New York City Department of Education.
