Experimental artist Arturo Herrera utilizes fragments of imagery borrowed from popular culture to create collages, felt sculptures and wall paintings that lie on the shifting border between order and wild abstraction. He especially favors screen printing, which he compares to drawing for its spontaneity and openness to variation between prints. Johannes, an exceptionally complex collage by the artist that contains 106 different print elements, incorporates etching, aquatint, linocut, letterpress, collagraph, silkscreen and digital pigment print.
