ONEONTA, N.Y. -- The work of Tim Sheesley--artist, printmaker, and director of the Martin-Mullen Art Gallery at the SUNY College at Oneonta--will be featured, along with the work of other artists with whom he has collaborated, in an exhibition entitled "Timothy Sheesley: Master Printmaker, Artist and Collaborator" at the Roberson Museum and Science Center in Binghamton from April 3, 2009, through March 1, 2010. Sheesley will present an artist's talk at 7 p.m. during the opening reception on Friday, April 3.
The exhibition will feature hand-printed original lithographs produced by Sheesley at his Corridor Press, which he established in Philadelphia in 1984 and moved to Otego in 1992. Representing his 25-year career, the 130 works on display will include Sheesley's own art as well as collaborations with 70 other artists. The exhibition will also highlight aspects of the process and technique involved in the art of lithography.
Sheesley's collaborators represented in the exhibit include SUNY Oneonta colleagues James Mullen, Yolanda Sharpe, Sean Scherer, and Thomás Sakoulas, as well as local artists Charles Bremer, Irwin Hollander, and Richard Kathmann.
A 1977 graduate of SUNY Oneonta, Sheesley credits Professor Emeritus James Mullen with introducing him to lithography. He went on to earn a master's degree from Temple University and the title of master printer.
