Cather ine Barrows ~Untitledphoto polymer and mono print2012
~Vulnerability, sensitivity and femininity are recurring themes in my work.Our relationship with the natural world and it’s reflection of our own inner landscape inspires me. I prefer to work on single editions and combine different printmaking techniques to add atmosphere and depth. This multi-layered approach is also symbolic of our depths as humans and the different layers we hide or reveal to the outside world.

Gary Ba tche lor
~Untitledscreen print2013
~Since graduating from Winchester School of Art in 2007 within Fine Art Printmaking, Gary Batchelor’s new work explores the visual relationship between the use of colour and figurative suggestion to express movement. The combination of such techniques manipulates the outcome by aesthetically simplifying forms, allowing the mood to evolve both effortlessly and timelessly. The collaboration of colours embedded through the arrangement of layering develops the illusion between the subject and the viewer.

Jack i Baxter ~Enamel Spoonoffset litho
~The influence of the artist’s culinary background and her interest in the architecture of the domestic environment appears in her recurring subjects: kitchen utensils, cups, saucers and crockery. Baxter believes that the everyday domestic items connect with us on a subconscious yet powerful, level. Her work challenges the presentation of the ‘ordinary’, inviting the audience to reassess its reactions to everyday objects and notions of value.

Al i s on Be rna l ~Double-PipesDouble-Cranesrelief/ emboss2013
~ The work in this series is an exploration of depth and space using repeating motifs. The imagery is based on the construction work done on the 2012 Olympic site in East London. Drawings and photographs were developed, simplified and manipulated to the essential elements of the image and then transposed into the two parts of emboss and relief.

Al ice Valent ina B iga ~Hungeretching on zinc2013
~Alice Valentina Biga’s practice combines different fragmented etched drawings in a continuous attempt to comunicate with the past and the painful episodes of life.The fragility of these images invites the viewer, however, in some ways it scares the viewer too. The items entice consumption, they implore the viewer to look at them until the viewer becomes part of the sentiments the images represent.

Anna B lack ~Pedrolinocut2013
Father and childwoodcut2013
~Relatively new to printmaking, I am particularly drawn to portraits and exploring the territory of the face; with a background in drawing I enjoy mapping the sitter through the mark making. I am just as interested in what lies beneath as surface pattern and, depending on the subject, may emphasize one over the other. Although they are portraits firstly, I am looking to capture a connection with the viewer that transcends a likeness.

Jenny B lanchard ~Stack 4carborundum, monotype and hand painting2013Tidemark 5carborundum and mixed media2013
~The four prints are resonant of barnacled rocks and drifting weed . However the starting points were collograph prints which I overprinted and from which I then made paintings.I was interested in how I could manipulate what was for me a new medium. In this case : carborundum. My intention as always to reach a point that was a complete surprise to me.

Ree Bra i thwai te ~Living Languagescreen print2013
~I have been explor ing co l laborat ive dance choreography that bridges classical and contemporary dance, investigating movement which can be viewed as underground.I have been fascinated with the methods that dance choreographers use to create innovative dance styles and one approach is creating hundreds of sketches of dance. This abstract print has been created from five different dance moves sketched at ballet and hip-hop theatre dance and performances.

Yann Br ien ~Cross sectionsscreen print2013
~Yann Brien is a french printmaker living and working in London.
His recent work documents visually an ongoing research based on an investigation of the decision-making process, a reflection on the way one communicates with one another, and is inscribed in the continuity of a research linking visual content, language and psychology.
The resulting print work is based on figurative image-symbols and abstract geometrical constructions in which the usual points of reference such as distance and volume shift and dissolve to create an unique experience based on the active participation of the viewer.

Ann Ca t t ra l l ~Lazy Dog in Athenscollagraph with drypoint2013
~I like dogs. I also like collagraphs. This is a picture of a lazy dog I saw sleeping in the sun in Athens. I took a photograph of it, then worked on making a collagraph plate based on that, using card, glue, paste and scratched in drypoint lines. At the ELP studio I made two decent prints from it. I’ll keep one, the other one is for sale to anyone who like collagraphs and dogs.

Fabio Coruzz i ~La Societescreen print, mixed media on canvas2013
~“…Provocative and ironic, Fabio Coruzzi’s language describes scenarios of social criticism, reflecting almost specularly the cultural reality of our metropolitan society, sandwiched, as he says, “between concrete and the asphalt”. Anonimous figures, chaotic spaces, urban life’s scenes,women and men in their working environment, athletes and hooligans at sport events, traffic of the city..Life flows incessantly within Fabio Coruzzi’s work and the author become a faithful witness of it…”Maria Vinella – art critic www.fabiocoruzzi.com

Mar t in Davidson ~Plungelinocut2013Rock II woodcut2013
~My work explores the rhythms and forms of the natural world. The printmaking work is a distillation of drawings from observation and photographs, the final image, a result of reducing the complexities to a more abstract and expressive graphic equivalent.

Steve Edwards ~Fontibuslinocut2012
~I have many sources of inspiration, but currently my main preoccupations are the outer world of the cityscape and the inner world of some of its inhabitants.
I love the rigour and hands-on nature of printmaking, especially etching and lino. When working the surface of the plate or block, I try to utilise methods that are partly out of my control.

Rhed Fawel l ~Frankie’s 1st Flightscreen print2012
~I use collage, drawing and finally screen printing to explore the deconstruction of images and a process of reassemblage to create a poetical narrative. I take inspiration from nature and from the human form, focusing on human fragility.The pictures create their own stories, as I work on them they take on a life of their own, forming narratives that are completed in the viewer’s imagination. What the viewer reads into each image is as important as what was in my own head as I construct them, they can be interpreted in different ways depending on who is looking at them.

Dawes Gray ~Hackney Rebel series of 9 printshand coloured etching and chine collé2013
~My prints are inspired by the life and work of the British painter and sculptor, Anthony Hancock. It has now been 50 years since the artist’s early career and subsequent rise to fame were first documented in the film, ‘The Rebel’. Although little has been written about Hancock in recent years, it is understood that whilst he remained convinced of his own true genius, many critics alleged that his “bland optimism” far exceeded any real artistic talent.

Pamela Hare ~Destination Stationscreen print and mixed media2013
Thomas and Teddy etching2012
Golden Tagsscreen print2012
~Pamela is an artist and printmaker from Islington who presents urban views, from Victorian to Post Modern. She is influenced by the richness of colours and patinas and by the contrasts of dark and light and atmospheres of iconic buildings. Recent prints include St Pancras, which illustrates its transformation back into a Gothic Victorian cathedral. This work continues Pamela’s theme of tracing architectural fabrics connecting past to present, from church spire to glass citadel.

E leanor Havsteen-Frank l in ~Nebula IIetching2013
Satoris IIetching2013
~Eleanor Havsteen-Franklin’s work makes reference to macro and micro forms. Each composition brings together layers, textures, surfaces and formations. Her etchings are formed through an interaction between intentional linear drawing and conditions that generate randomness that occur within the process itself. These complex and yet delicate works have deeply textured surfaces which Eleanor explores further with the use of stitched threads, echoing the drawn lines and extend from the print as if emerging from the image.

Cla i re Hynds ~New Perspectives; Panoramascreen print2013
~This piece explores the experience of walking around a planned, pedestrian town centre, namely Stevenage. The canopies that dominate this town become viewfinders in this panorama, forming framing devices that create a sequence of beginnings and endings.Up close, the constantly changing horizon imparts a sense of transition, each component part had corresponding counterpart. As you move along the concertina new images are revealed and the viewer is reminded of turning a corner in the town centre.

Yoko Iwaya ~Cat-trapetching2013
Meow Meow Catsetching2013
~I presently work mostly in etching. In my drawings in preparation for making prints, I like to observe the sometimes comic and mysterious behaviour of dogs and cats in our lives. Often we seem to share the same feelings, but on the other hand, I also enjoy projecting my own stories onto them.

Kather ine Jones ~Centrifugecollagraph and block-print on paper2012
~Contradictions between safe and unsafe, secure and insecure are a central focus of Katherine Jones’ work. In much of her previous work she has focused on a recurring greenhouse motif that simultaneously represents nurture, protection and suffocation.
In recent pieces such as Quiet Town and Centrifuge she turns her sights on the playground as a vehicle for describing these contrasting themes, focusing on the places designed specifically for the process of childhood play and experiment.

~“Fairytale” is a series of collage work, developed into screen-prints, reflecting the imaginary version of memories.The German romanticism burdened memory as a suffering of the present, calling it melancholy. Flowers an important element of the work, representing symbolism and mythology of meanings.

Venessa Pugh ~Long Way Homewoodcut2012
~This print was made in response to reading about desertification and soil erosion in the Sahel. Aggravated by climate change, rain patterns are disrupted and the soil cracks in the dry season. High winds and a lack of vegetation makes mulching difficult and reduces the ability of the soil to retain water and to remain fertile. A child I support in Burkina Faso has had to move with her whole village. This records her journey.

I t a l i a Ro s s i ~Untitledscreen print2013
~Italia Rossi‘s practice explores the space and the presence of the body, using subjects and imagery that derive from architecture, graphics, geometry, movement and identity. Her work deliberately mixes 3d and 2d aspects, combining drawings, etchings, photos and installations to create metaphors of processes, diagrams of things displaced in the space and maps of localised events in the time. Italia Rossi trained originally in Architecture. Her work has been awarded and supported by the British Council.

Ian Sca i fe ~Parklinesdigital print2013
~In my work, I’m interested in exploring the interaction between shape and colour, and I’m often inspired by the synthetic colours and forms of manufactured objects, and by commercial processes. My digital prints are worked out on an Apple Mac using Adobe illustrator, which allows free experimentation with a variety of colour and shape combinations before output using a high end Epson Stylus Pro printer on archival quality art paper.‘Parklines’ began as a series of sketches of the markings in a car park, which I’ve fragmented into a series of interrelated geometric shapes and colours.

Euan Stewar t ~Twelve Angry Men I-XIIwoodcuts2012
~Twelve Angry Men explores expression, identity and the feeling of being both a part of or apart from the crowd. The subjects are football fans, whose heightened aggression and elation constantly fluctuate throughout the course of games and seasons. By putting these contorted, semi photographic faces through the expressive filter of the woodcutting process and exhibiting them in a sequential format, I want to confront the viewer with an extreme display of human nature.

~My work explores presence and the passage of time, often using found objects. This old cutting board shows traces of chopping and cutting in preparation for hundreds of meals. Its accidental marks record daily actions over an arc of time in which multitudinous events might take place in a household (in this case mine), from celebrations to births and deaths—not to mention all the less remarkable days.

Blind To The Corporationsscreen print2012
~Studying graphic design was the stepping stone to creating my own art. We live in a world crowded by objects that have come to us through merchandise and publicity. Through graphic design, I became aware of how objects are transformed into big personalities, often with a divine power. Corporations, globalization, advertising and mass production are subjects addressed by my artwork. I like to express the way corporations use and abuse advertising to seduce and manipulate the masses.

A Fine Balanceetching2012
~Etching, the adding and taking away, the intricacy of the mark and the solidity of the etched plate create a kind of alchemy that, for me, is endlessly absorbing and exciting.My work looks at objects of beauty and sensuality, seemingly solid and timeless but embodying a vulnerability to the elements and erosion. It is about protection, preservation and fragility and, ultimately, about the inter-relationship and inter-dependence between regeneration and decay.

Caro l ine Whi tehead ~Blue Bird ‘Still lives’ series collagraph with relief print2013
~Recently I have been working on two series of prints, “Still lives” and “Gloom of night”, all of which originate in drawings made in natural history collections, primarily those of Harvard University, the University of Bergen and the Natural History Museum at Tring. I am interested not only in the specimens themselves, but also in the environments in which they are displayed. These displays often result in unintended juxtapositions, provoking actual and metaphorical reflections.

~I am exploring the ‘feminine principle’ in traditional medieval imagery, much of which is associated with alchemy. In many European manuscripts, woodcuts and engravings, of this period, the Biblical representation of Eve exerted a powerful cultural influence: the effect of this is still with us today.

Nocturnalsetched, pressed lead book containing 9 images hand printed in varied etching techniques 2008
~Defined as a “Jungian neo-surrealist”, the work of Sisetta Zappone has been described as a unique style characterized by a solid arcane background. Subjects disclose a dense imagery of both the painful and the humorous, animals which seem ferocious are often revealed to be ultimately pathetic or impotent,a darkly funny view of our inner lives.Sisetta graduated with highest honours from the Fine Arts Academy in Florence. She then studied at Bisonte International School of Graphic Arts, earning herMA as a master printmaker. In 2010, she moved to London and worked in several schools and printmaking studios
