Elin Rødseth's Woodcuts Featured at Art on Paper Fair During New York Armory Week
In March 2016, the Art on Paper fair held its second edition during New York's Armory Week, emphasizing graphic arts on paper. This included various forms such as printmaking, book arts, drawings, and photography. Owen James Gallery showcased the works of Norwegian artist Elin Rødseth, featuring nine woodcuts with monotype enhancements that portrayed contemporary figures in snowy settings, echoing Delft tiles and social media influences. The fair's organizers aimed to present a wide array of paper-based artworks, prioritizing accessibility and democratic artistic practices, in contrast to more exclusive events. Art on Paper's inclusive nature provided a concentrated experience amidst a busy schedule of other New York art happenings, with Rødseth blending traditional techniques and modern themes.
