Kentler International Drawing Space is thrilled to highlight contemporary mokuhanga prints from the Kentler Flatfiles at the 2026 Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair. Mokuhanga is the Japanese water-based woodcut technique originally used to create ukiyo-e prints in the 17th century. It is currently experiencing a worldwide revival as it allows for the production of refined prints in a small space using nontoxic materials. Since 2012, Kentler has actively promoted the medium through exhibitions, events, and our Flatfiles, which now house over 320 mokuhanga prints by more than 35 local, national, and international artists.
THE KENTLER FLATFILES is a living archive of more than 3,000 artworks by 330 artists. An essential element of the gallery since its founding, the Flatfiles showcase the diversity of works on paper from the 1960s to today. The collection is available for onsite viewing by appointment and is digitized on Kentler’s website (www.kentlergallery.org).
Kentler International Drawing Space is a nonprofit organization dedicated to presenting drawings and works on paper by artists from around the world. Established in 1990, Kentler is a contemporary venue with a rich history of exhibitions and public programs serving Red Hook, Brooklyn and beyond. Our curatorial focus is on quality, variety, and innovation in the fields of drawing and printmaking.
