"It's not just about the mechanics; it's about the way the colors breathe together on the metal." — Mark Elliott Johnson

In this episode of Platemark, host Ann Shafer talks with artist Mark Johnson who shares his extensive experiences working with Krishna Reddy, a master in simultaneous color printing (viscosity printing). The conversation reveals insights into Reddy's creative process, his philosophical approach to art and teaching, and the technical intricacies of his printmaking methods. The episode also touches on Johnson's own journey, the influence of Reddy's teachings on his career, and the continuing relevance of Reddy's techniques in contemporary printmaking. Don't miss Mark's stellar video on simultaneous color printing made for PCNY's spring 2025 exhibition of the work of Krishna Reddy curated by Sarah Burney.
