PRESS: Original Prints by RWA Academicians
This exhibition provides an opportunity to view the work of over 20 RWA Academicians who use print as part of their art practice. While some use modern printing techniques, others embrace more traditional methods of printmaking and several blend the two.
Printmaking is a unique art form that combines creativity, technical skill and chance to create a myriad of interesting and evocative images. There are many different techniques, from the instantaneous results of mono printing to the more consuming process of mezzotint. The results are wide and varied and we hope this exhibition is a welcome glimpse into the exciting and varied work that can be achieved with the different printmaking techniques used by our Academicians.
In this exhibition you will find a diverse array of themes; soaring mountainous landscapes, picturesque rural settings, the natural world juxtaposed with the constructed, the cosmos, mythology, ancestry, the crisis of endangered species or simply the use of both chance and control in the printmaking process. To provide an insight into historical works created by RWA Academicians, a selection of prints from the RWA collection, dating from the early 20th century, have also been included.
