Highpoint Editions artist Clarence Morgan was commissioned to create a print for the prestigious Des Moines Art Center Print Club! Founded in 1981, the Des Moines Art Center Print Club encourages the study and appreciation of fine prints and supports the print activities and collections of the Des Moines Art Center.
"Ordinary Wonders", which was printed at Highpoint Center for Printmaking, is a 12" x 12" 2-color lithograph/1-color screenprint on 15.5" x 15" Rives BFK white paper.
“I am interested in an approach to art making that explores the often-conflicted relationship between the decorative traditions in geometric patterns found in other cultures and western modernism. However, the recent paintings, prints and collage-drawings avoid culturally specific subject matter in favor of a more elusive pictorial terrain of contemporary abstraction. Inasmuch, my work attempts to reflect a broader generational curiosity where the familiar and unfamiliar converge.” - Clarence Morgan quoted in Des Moines Art Center press release
