The González-Cerón Print Workshop currently achieves 40 years of continue experience, dedication and research within the different media of original graphics. It thus becomes a specific center as a reference in terms of the processes and developments of contemporary graphic work in Colombia.

​

In the Workshop, many projects have been undertaken in close collaboration with national and foreign artists, in such a way that multiple portfolios, artists’books, fine editions have been pull out as well as continuous activity in the pedagogical field associate with different university centers.

 

The workshop infrastructure in addition to its 60 m² of area and an exhibition space, has six manual printing presses, a typographic proofing press, more than 150 lithographic stones in various formats, a set of 40 rollers of different types, which together with their extra equipment and tools has allowed artists to explore, produce and research in the traditional media of engraving and lithography in particular, to expand in recent years to the use of digital resources and new media.

 

The close link between the Workshop and the academy has opened doors to proposals in which the concept of authorship is revised while at the same time giving a turn to the visual relationship between observer-traditional print artwork, with projects of large dimensions. The Lithos Graphein event with the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana stands out, in its five versions since 2008.

 

Today the workshop is an active space in which there is constant dialogue, reflection and strategies related to graphics arise, with full awareness of the validity and challenges that print media represents for the art world and society.
