Shane Guffogg

Shane Guffogg is an artist with a deeply disciplined, refined approach. His practice was influenced by his many years as the studio assistant to Ed Ruscha, who encouraged him to find his voice and pursue his singular vision. Steeped in the Southern California traditions of light and space, cool school, and synchromism, Guffogg is a painter of lyrical abstraction — his works fuse color, movement, spirit, and form into a sophisticated whole.

"When Each Was Both" is an adaptation of the artist's stylized interlocking and dimensional ribbon shapes to the solid ink medium of letterpress. Layering of transparent ink on multiple levels acts similarly to the way oil paint would be layered on the canvas, this print achieves an effusive subtlety, while balancing both a softness with the hardness of the printing process.

This print was co-published by Bert Green Fine Art and Aardvark Letterpress.
