Nicola López returned to Tamarind in the spring of 2017 for her fourth artist residency with the workshop, creating a series of large-scale monoprint collages and editioned works. Her background in anthropology and her keen observation of urban systems informs her imagery, and her work frequently pushes into the realm of sculpture and installation in the complexity of her printed forms. The layering and problem-solving inherent to printmaking are central to López’s method of working, and the lithographs she created with Tamarind printers gather together her ongoing interest in industry, architecture, and technology.

López has had solo exhibitions and projects with Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Pace Prints Gallery, New York; Chazen Museum, Madison; La Calera Oaxaca; and has participated in many group exhibitions including Museum of Modern Art, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museo Rufino Tamayo, Mexico City; Albuquerque Museum; and the Denver Art Museum.
