Etching, silkscreen // Mel Bochner's Oh Well (2019) is a mixed-media print that combines etching and silkscreen techniques to present a text-heavy, conceptual work. The artwork features a grid of phrases like OH WELL THAT’S THE WAY IT GOES and JUST LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT, rendered in large, bold, and textured letters with varying colors, creating a visually rhythmic composition. Bochner’s characteristic use of text challenges viewers to confront common expressions of resignation and acceptance. The layered textures and muted palette give the piece a contemplative feel, blending cynicism and realism, making a statement about the human condition and our coping mechanisms in the face of adversity.
