- Rip Bodman graduated from Parsons College in Iowa in 1967 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. He worked as a technical illustrator for the government upon his return from his tour of duty in Viet Nam.
- For almost his entire life Rip has been working as an artist predominately choosing to work in the serigraph medium for most of his creative expressions. Serigraph is the fine art term for silk-screening all done by hand for the express purpose of creating a fine art print. Rip’s work is known for its vibrant use of color and his amazing ability to use up to a hundred colors per screen. Using his squeegee to blend many colors to show beautiful atmospheric skies and tremendous depth of space instead of the traditional one color, one screen method of silk-screening that is most commonly seen. Rip likes to say he uses his squeegee more as a paint brush than just pushing one flat color through the screen, and in doing so achieving amazing results. Rip spent eighteen months in Viet Nam during the war and even though this was a very dark time for him he also loved and appreciated that part of the world and its culture. He made several trips during this period to Japan where he was very influenced by the lovely block prints of the turn of the century. You can see and feel this influence in his present day work, certainly with a modern flair and style uniquely Rip’s own.
