Shreefter Goes ‘Half & Half’ at Off Main

Robert Shreefter is having a virtual exhibition, “half-ourselves & half-not,” at Off Main Gallery in Wellfleet, with a Zoom opening reception on Saturday, December 12th, at 6 p.m. The exhibition will be available to view at offmaingallery.com through December 31st.

This series of silk screens is about mapping, says Shreefter in a gallery announcement: “The prints are not, of course, literal maps; they are maps that, while based on interior spaces I have inhabited, are more about emotional rather than physical space.

“The process and technique of making prints is somewhat out of the artist’s hand; the actual process of printing adds to the unpredictability of the finished piece,” says Shreefter. “I work in an intuitive and haphazard way — opting for the greatest amount of experimentation instead of imposing too much planning and organization. Each visual addition to the print — colors, marks, etc., adds to the possibility of surprise and ‘happy accidents.’ ”
