Don Carr is a Canadian artist who focuses on visual exploration of historical myths and symbolism. Since the beginning of his formal studio arts education in the 1960’s, printmaking has grounded Carr’s multi-media artistic practice and informs his continued experimentations with colour and imagery.

Collaborative Print Variations presents an array of copperplate etchings that Carr has collaboratively produced with Smokestack’s analog printmaker, Laine Groeneweg, over the last 8-years of his printmaking practice. A featured series of new variable-edition coloured etchings demonstrates Carr’s ongoing commitment to the intaglio process.

Don Carr is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design, 1966; holds a Bachelor of Arts and Studio Arts from the University of Guelph, 1968; and a Masters of Fine Art in Printmaking from the University of Chicago, 1971. His works have been exhibited across Canada and internationally in the United States, Estonia, Japan, Czech Republic, and extensively across Italy. His upcoming solo-exhibition at Smokestack Gallery represents Carr’s welcome return to the artistic fabric of Hamilton where he was a Studio Arts Faculty member at McMaster University, teaching drawing and printmaking from 1970-2006.
