'Halftone' 
@ Planthouse
Gallery

 

Title reference: 
The halftone
relies on an
optical illusion:
tiny dots that
are blended into
smooth tones
by the human
eye.

It is the
basis of all
photographic 
reproduction, 
and artists 
have long been 
stripping away 
and altering 
the systems 
that organize 
these dots, 
allowing them 
the discretion to 
subconsciously 
direct the eye 
of the viewer. 

Featured 
works:
Prints and
drawings by
artists working
with systems,
halftones, and
Ben-Day dots.
