Perry Obee "Silver from Boston Hill" Lithograph

These original lithographs are inspired by watercolor studies of the desert landscapes of New Mexico. Artist Perry Obee transforms the vibrant desert scenery into contemporary printmaking by isolating abstract forms and reimagining them through the medium of lithography. Rather than direct reproductions, these fine art prints function as abstractions of memory—layered interpretations that blend the fluidity of watercolor with the graphic depth of print.

Each lithograph was hand-pulled using traditional stone and aluminum plate lithography techniques. The process involved litho tusche washes, crayon drawing, sanding, scraping, and carefully blended inking to build complex color layers and rich textures. The result is a series of limited edition desert landscape lithographs that merge painterly expression with the precision of classic printmaking.

Artist, Perry Obee, works across multiple media including painting, drawing, and printmaking. Having apprenticed with a Tamerind trained Master Printer for 9 years, Obee studied traditional stone and plate lithography, intaglio, and relief printmaking, as well as paper making and adhesive processes. His work addresses a struggle between perception and experience, emotion and intellect, beauty and the essential, balance and instability, unity and chaos, serenity and meditation. Obee is inspired by the liberated use of color and abstract depiction of space and form honed by Modern and Post-Modern figurative and abstract artists, such as Matisse, Bonnard, and Vuillard. Additionally, he is influenced by the graphic lines and economic approach to space in Chinese Landscape Painting.
