Don Gorvett: Woodcuts and Drawings October 10, 2010

Don Gorvett is a New England artist who produces powerful images of the harbors, cities and architecture found along the rocky coasts of Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. With a painter's eye for color, Gorvett produces prints with elegant and evocative tonal harmonies not usually associated with woodcuts. And, with a sculptor's sense of light, he fashions dramatic contrasts between color and carved hard edges, giving great solidity to both form and space. What emerge are woodcuts containing images of such strength and grace that they place Gorvett among today's best regional printmakers.
