Gleason Fine Art has added color woodblock printer Robert Clark to its roster of artists. Well-known around Mount Desert Island as a builder of fine custom homes, Clark has developed his own unique approach to color woodblock print making.

Clark's tools include the computer, digital camera and laser engraver. Using artist's oil paint instead of printer's ink, Clark builds his images by inking and hand burnishing each block multiple times. This yields vibrant prints that have both depth and texture.

Clark's prints are strongly influenced by the early 20th century print makers, especially Gustave Baumann.

Robert Clark's prints are on view at Gleason Fine Art, located at 31 Townsend Avenue in Boothbay Harbor, through May 3. Spring hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
