Alongside Dan Walsh’s Blue Icon (Day Edition and Night Edition), newly published by Printed Matter, we are also offering a selection of small-edition titles from Walsh. In addition to his painting, much of Walsh’s artistic practice over the last 15 years has focused on the artists’ books he has steadily produced under his imprint Moody Studios. Hand-stitched and printed in his studio, these extraordinary books use irregular geometric forms to explore minimalist themes across a progression of color and texture, creating intimate works that are near-narrative.

The works featured here employ a range of materials and techniques including textilene, silkscreen, woodcuts on Siramine and Shikoku paper, ink jet printing with hand coloring by marker, pencil, spray paint, dry transfer, gold and copper leaf, silkscreen on black Fabriano paper with cut-outs.
