Tim Mara


Tim Mara (1948-1997) professor and printmaker, born in Dublin, Republic of Ireland. His screen prints could take up to three months to finish.
One of Tim quotes says a lot about his work or the way he approaches printmaking in general; ‘In the hierarchy of fine art, printmaking is usually associated with craft skills – with technique. And that gets in the way. My work was always about the ideas more than the medium‘.
Colourful multi layered screen prints, a bit like pop art, but still feeling up to date. Most of his work was accomplished using the (photo)screen printing technique, sometimes combined with lithography or intaglio printing. Repeating patterns and loads of colour, Tim's legacy to the world of printmaking.







...And sometime a little less colour....
