Art Werger
About The Artist
The images in Art Werger’s prints are anchored in his New Jersey childhood. His suburban scenes are lyrical and evocative of boyhood summer evening. His city scenes are fraught with tension and isolation. Some of Werger’s prints show the influence of film noir genre movies as well as paying tribute to the cinematic techniques of Alfred Hitchcock. Through realistic portrayals of scenes viewed from unusual angles, he creates a dream-like detachment from the events taking place.
Werger is a Printmaker who thrives in the technical complexitites of print media. He works in various forms of intaglio printmaking, which develop an image on a metal plate. During each of the many stages in making an intaglio print, Werger carefully refines his images to reflect the intense precision of the printmaking process.
Werger has works in the collection of The Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Boston Public Library, the Brooklyn Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the Trenton Museum in New Jersey.
His work has been included in several international exhibits and shows including; Festival Szuki, Rybnik 2000, Intergraphia Katowic, World Award Winners Gallery, Triennale Graphiki, Kracow, Poland 2000.

“Tidal Shift 2016”
Description: six-panel panoramic intaglio image consisting of hand drawn aquatint and white ground imagery.
The title 'Tidal Shift' refers not only to the endangered coastal tideland but also to the psychological mindset of the characters.
At first glance, the image appears bucolic but there is a subtext in that the participants of this play are oblivious to the forces of the rising ocean and the impending consequences of the consumerist indulgences.
The sweep of the image covers approximately a 180-degree viewing angle spanning from ocean view across the beach to the mainland.
The main visual emphasis is on the lighting of the natural setting but there is also a strong emphasis on the textures of waves, clouds and sand eliciting a visceral response, and on patterns and compositional placement of the figures that crowd the scene.
Completed in 2016, each etching + aquatint panel is 36 x 24 in.
