Power of Print reflects the enormous creative potential that resides in the meeting of ink and printing matrix with paper, and the continued fascination the print medium holds for artists.
The exhibition features 38 original prints by Australian artists from the Maroondah City Council Art Collection dating from 1977 to 2025. Behind the artworks are artists as diverse as the range of printmaking techniques they employ. Threaded through their practices are multiple themes ranging from First Peoples knowledge and culture, colonisation, topography and place, more-than-human responses to biodiversity and relationships with other animals, through to colour abstraction.
Australian print culture continues to proliferate driven by university printmaking departments, organisations and presses such as the Print Council of Australia, Australian Print Workshop and others. As a result, representative coverage of original print making is a vital element of the development of national and regional art collections.
