Now that the holiday season has been thoroughly enjoyed and 2019 has been put to rest, we at Zimmerman Fine Art Studio are beginning 2020 with a new drawing and a set of three new serigraphs in the works!

First, we are proud to say that Kathleen Zimmerman started the New Year with her first drawing of 2020 titled Horse. It is part of her Home Series and a welcome addition to the previous three drawings, Bird, Dog and Fish.

Note: Images of Bird, Dog and Fish’s serigraphs are shown below.

In this series, Zimmerman raises the question of what makes a home? Is it just a temporary safe haven... a place to raise one's offspring... a permanent sense of belonging... a place to protect... or an ever-changing location dependent of the food supply… or is it family or friends that determines what makes a home?  By looking at what seems to be the most important factors to different animals when they choose their homes, Zimmerman gently urges the viewer to think about what is the most important factors to them.

Zimmerman’s latest drawing continues this by urging viewers to think about what makes a horse feel at home? Is it a nice shelter with plenty of hay to eat… attention from humans and work to perform… or open spaces to run free in… or in today’s world, is it a balance of all three? In Zimmerman’s drawing, she plays with these ideas in her symbolic and surreal manner showing a horse in a dreamscape of sorts, with lush grass caressing its long legs and Zimmerman will add a touch of green to the serigraph to give it the sweet taste of spring.

Like all of Zimmerman’s serigraphs, each print will be hand-printed on Coventry Rag 290 gram paper using archival serigraphic inks in limited editions of 24 with 2 artist proofs and 3 printers proofs signed by the artist. We will post an image of the serigraph under our menu heading, serigraphic prints, when it is available for adoption.

Second, we are currently producing the serigraphs of our East West Series! The set of all three editions should be finished in early February if all goes well. We plan on posting images of the serigraphs in our March post and telling you about the idea behind this series, so keep turned for that.

Note: Above are images of the drawings of East West Series - Cosmology, Iconology and Mythology’s.

Third and possibly most important, here’s hoping EVERYONE has a happy and productive year!
