Artist Talk at 2pm

Foundry Vineyards is thrilled to share our newest art exhibition in collaboration with the Mokuhanga Project Space, featuring the pioneering works of Kansas City-based artist Mike Lyon. The exhibition will be on view from June 1, 2024, and run through July 7, 2024, showcasing a collection of Lyon's innovative mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock prints) that blend traditional techniques with modern technology.

Mike Lyon is recognized for his unique approach to printmaking, which integrates his extensive knowledge of computer technology with the ancient art of mokuhanga. This exhibition highlights the evolution of Lyon's work, from his early hand-carved prints to his latest digitally abstracted, machine-carved pieces. Lyon's process is a fusion of traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, where he programs computers and builds machinery to manipulate art-making tools, creating intricate and precise prints.

The reception is free to the public.
