RE ORIGINAL PRINTS 2016

Exhibitions and sporting events bring about expectation. This year sees one of the most anticipated football/soccer competitions in a long time. Three of the Home nations are involved in the European Championship finals, and there is great speculation on how far one of our home sides could progress in the competition.

It brings me back to a starry-eyed time as a child when England1 won the World Cup at Wembley Stadium in London in 1966. I watched the match live from the front room at home on the sofa. Perhaps on recollection I also may have even made some sort of print at school that week!

Some years later and after I had graduated from art school, I was privileged to meet the esteemed British printmaker Michael Rothenstein at his studio in Essex. I was there to select work for a national exhibition and got to talk to him about the beautiful game after I saw one of his prints. He described this particular screenprint (with woodcut, linocut and photo-screen inclusions) from the 1970s, called Sport2, in which we see a model girl on a sofa (perhaps watching a game on television) on top a football crowd at the point of a goal being scored, and a goal keeper with outstretched arms. At the heart of this triptych format print, he reminded me that the juxtaposition of disparate ele-ments make for marvelous invention and interpretations of our daily lives. Rothenstein had conjured not only a visually powerful sexual metaphor but employed the process of printmaking as a multidirectional tour de force, combining desire, creativity, attitude, deft process, and daily images into one wonderful graphic celebration.

Some years after my afternoon at his studio, I came across Rothensteins formative book Frontiers of Printmaking; New Aspects of Relief Printing3. The book was published in 1966 (that famous year in the myth of football) and a number of things tied together, particularly a symmetry of understanding of how art can mirror life, and when that happens it is very good art indeed!

In this latest exhibition of contemporary prints we will see many of those expressions of interconnecting process and worldly desire that were so elegantly expressed to me by Rothenstein all those years ago. The following passage from that important book, Frontiers of Printmaking, tends to sum up all that interconnection spirit very well;

In recent years printmaking has reached a turning point in its development. Along with other activities, change, a radical change, is taking shape and new streams of vitality are finding their way into the prints studios. Artists are exploring untried ways of expression, and some entirely novel sources of both imagery and printing materials have been uncovered.

Although written in 1966! there could be a maxim here for printmakings health in 2016 and of course the possibility of bringing home a trophy?

The theme of landscape in Stephen Lawlors work is infor-med by the history of western painting and in particular the landscapes of Poussin, Claude and Constable. In por-traying the human figure he revisits the portrait paintings of Bellini, Holbein, Caravaggio and Van Eyck among others. His work explores the tonal varieties of light and shade. The manipulation of light and dark is achieved by con-trolling plate tone and overlaying dense areas of aquatint which in turn creates atmosphere and tension.

The experience of living and studying between Taiwan and Italy gives Mei Chei Tseng sensitiveness to more iconic, conceptual and spiritual kind of images. Italian art has great influences on her way of depicting forms, lights and shadows, and the love for wood en-graving derives from her passion for literature and delicate details.

Mei Chen Tseng has been practicing wood engraving for more than 10 years and is working as a professional painter and print-

maker now.

Prints Edward was the Edward Twohigs nickname while at Chelsea College of Art where, as a post graduate, He proofed for Eduardo Paolozzi, John Piper, John Hoyland and Tim Mara amongst others. Since then his love for original printmaking has not diminished but intensified and spilled into collecting, lecturing, teaching, curating as well as creating. Twohig is a committed printmaker and admires equally older and contemporary skills in printmaking and never tires of its diversity to bring alive an idea or message.

Fouzia Zafar describes play as a key concept of her work. Play encompasses repeatedly finding, composing and

constructing new tools and processes to explore objects history, surfaces, and qualities, whilst also constructing

new narratives. During play she explores her themes: the strangeness of memory, family histories, migration and

absence. Fouzias work flickers between reality and fiction and use of pictorial language and processes. Figureless,

her images have a presence of someone/something that is now absent and a playful nostalgic noise unfolds.
