Tanner Airlines - Hawaii

"Fly," a solo show from Gallery1988 favorite Eric Tan, who will take you on the ceremonial first flight of his own Tanner Airlines. Based on the artist's travels, he has created a number of limited edition screenprints advertising each destination he's spent time in. This fully comprehensive show is remarkable as Eric has even went the extra step and helped transform the gallery into his own travel agency.Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas. Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing surface. It is also known as silkscreen, seriography, and serigraph.Hours: Wed - Sun: 11 AM - 6 PM Mon & Tues: Closed
