Combination of prints and ceramics on show in Arundel

James Stewart, who runs the gallery, said: “Since printmaking is becoming more popular among both artists and collectors, we felt we should recognise this and put together a group show which features prints by some well-established artists in their field as well as some interesting editions by some lesser-known but equally-exciting Sussex-based printmakers.

Among pieces on show will be works by Patrick Caulfield, Terry Frost, Tracey Emin and Tom Hammick.

James continued: “Some artists produce artist books. These are deluxe limited editions of a book, usually is a special case and often with an original print. We have such works by Paula Rego (O Vinho), Jake Chapman (three novels), Jim Dine (Entrada Drive and Peter Doig (L’Alpiniste – The Wonders of Skiing).The exhibition will demonstrate the broad range of printmaking techniques used by artists – screenprints, woodcuts, lithographs, etchings, dry point and some monoprints – as well as the range of artists creating original prints both locally and internationally.”

The gallery will also show figurative raku and stoneware ceramics by Josse Davis.

“Like his father, Derek Davis, Josse returns often to the subject of love in his work and so it seems appropriate to include them alongside the editions on the wall for all the romantics amongst our clients,” said James.
