STEAMROLLED X features large contemporary art prints, averaging about 5ft. 3in. x 3ft. 6in.; the process involves carving an image into a block of wood, rolling ink onto the image, followed by printing so only the parts that were not carved away are visible. It is a technique that relies on the natural wood grain to inform the style and energy of the carving as the artist commands negative space to provide high contrast and emotive textures. In order to print such a large woodcut onto paper, they drive over it with a steamroller, the kind of heavy-duty construction machinery used to level roads. The result is very striking and each artist’s stylistic voice is unique.
On Saturday January 31, 2026, an artists’ reception will be open to the public from 2 – 4pm in the Abraham Art Gallery and atrium, where refreshments will be served.
Many of the prints are available to purchase and all proceeds go to the artist!
The Abraham Art Gallery is located on the Wayland Baptist University campus in Plainview, Texas on the Atrium level of the Library. Our hours are Monday through Thursday from 10 am – 5 pm, Friday from 10 am – 4 pm and Saturday from 2 – 5 pm.
The exhibiting artists of STEAMROLLED X are Jacob Amador, James Beard, Rebecca Benitez, Joran Bolduc, Liz Conces Spencer, Jennifer M Dunn, Karen Eisele, Orna Feinstein, Jose Gonzales, Leamon Green, Christie Harrison, Anna Hazel, Jessica Jacobi, John Klosterman IV, Adrian Matheson, Don Mims, Chau Nguyen, David Norton, Nicole Peralta, Armando Rodriquez, Evan Leigh Rottet, Virgilio Ruiz, E.
