The Marilyn Citron O'Rourke Art Gallery at the Benicia Public Library is pleased to present Road Trip, an exhibition of mixed media prints by Thomas Wojak, on view April 7 through May 18, 2023. There will be a reception for the artist at 3 PM on Sunday, April 16, to which the public is invited.
Artist and master printer Thomas Wojak's works have been exhibited extensively locally, nationally, and internationally. Wojak is the owner and founder of The W.O.R.K.S, a screen printing studio located in Vallejo that specializes in limited edition work for local, national, and international artists, as well as various regional commercial design and technology clients. The studio, founded in San Francisco in 1972, relocated to downtown Vallejo in 2002, and celebrated 50 years in business in 2022.
Wojak is Professor Emeritus of Printmedia at California College of the Arts, from which he has recently retired after a 30-year teaching career.
His own work deals with "creating a present from fragments of the past." The upcoming exhibition, Road Trip, features a series of mixed media screenprints which are based on photographs captured during numerous trips to national parks and monuments taken by Wojak with his partner Misty Youmans. "Though somewhat more than a 'photo album,' creating the work does allow me to experience once more the beauty and power of these special places. My manipulation of the images creates a path to offer unique interpretations of each site."
The Marilyn Citron O'Rourke Art Gallery provides a public space for the display of artworks that will stimulate, educate, and promote greater understanding and appreciation for art in our culturally diverse community. Wojak is the Gallery's invited artist for 2023.
