Large Monotype titled “Seeds of a New Forrest” by Tony Abeyta - C4056B
Navajo artist Tony Abeyta (1965- ) is one of the best and most collectible contemporary Native American painters. Abeyta was educated at Santa Fe's Institute of American Indian Arts, the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, and overseas in Italy and Southern France. He later returned to school, taking postgraduate classes in art and filmmaking at the Chicago Art Institute. Though best known for his unique landscapes and richly textured mixed media depictions of Navajo Yei figures, Abeyta works comfortably and successfully with a variety of media.
Monotype printmaking is one of the many areas in which Abeyta excels. Monotype printing is a method of printing in which an image is created on a smooth, non-absorbent surface (usually a copper, zinc, glass or acrylic plate) and then transferred to a sheet of paper by pressing the two together. The initial print is often augmented with additional paints or other materials, creating textures that are unique to the medium. Each monotype is, as the medium's name implies, unique-they are not produced in multiples.
