Diptych/Triptych

Opening Reception Friday, November 6, 5-8pm

The idea of the Diptych/Triptych exhibition is to show prints consisting of two or three parts that closely relate to each other. This concept was popular in  the Renaissance  when artists worked for churches or secular patrons. To relate two or three themes with each other to explore the inner story of an artwork is still a challenge today.

In art, a diptych is a painting, especially an altarpiece, on two hinged wooden panels that may be closed like a book. A triptych is picture or relief carving on three panels, typically hinged together side by side and used as an altarpiece, or any  set of three associated artistic, literary, or musical works intended to be appreciated together.
