“WINDSWEPT”- WILLIAM OMURCADA - Serigraph - Signed & Numbered - 17/290
OMURCADA'S early years were spent in New England, followed by extensive travel in Europe and North Africa which afforded the appropriate stimulus to develop Omurcada's sensitivity for the visual arts and poetry. Extensive study with Antonio Frasconi, Robert Carty, plus extensive experimentation with woodblock and relief printing. More than 60 editions of serigraphs, all of which are pulled by Omurcada personally, have been published and widely distributed nationally, as well as overseas. The painterly quality he has achieved incorporating relief textures with blended fonts, has resulted in considerable acceptance of his work.
