Our chosen 5 artists all use print in the most interesting and engaging way and we can’t wait to tell you all about the processes and materials involved. There will be large and small framed and unframed works available to buy.
ALICE HARTLEY
Hartley (b.1988, Winchester, UK) works across printmaking, painting, writing and drawing, showing an instinctive nature of pairing gleaned text and compulsive mark making. Her work stems from fragments of writing and drawing from her own sketchbooks are transformed into expressive mono painting installations that she creates specifically for the gallery or space. The show will also feature her mono paintings and works on canvas.
Hartley paints quickly and instinctively on the silkscreen with momentum and vigour to create one off panels that sit somewhere between a painting and a print. The work has biographical elements but is predominately fictional. The voice is sure and the mark is urgent.
INES FERNANDEZ DE CORDOVA
Ines Fernandez de Cordova (b.1992) is a Bolivian/Slovenian artist living and working in South East London.Ines studied at Camberwell College of Arts for both her BA and MA. She graduated from her masters on Printmaking in 2017 and continues that path by working as a printer for Jealous Print Studios. Ines Fernandez de Cordova is interested in the relationship between objects and
time and the manner in which we perceive the two. Fernandez makes her sculptures from plaster or concrete to use them as tools to create still-lives, constructing subtle narratives through the use of sequence, mark making, overlapping and mirroring.
Printmaking is a fundamental part of her practice and through the use of photography the artist has managed to cohesively merge her primary interests in sculpture and printmaking. Her work is cyclical in the sense that it continuously loops from 2D into 3D. Creating uncanny scenes with her sculptures, she aims to invite the viewer to analyse the relationships between them. A recurring theme in her work is the notion of balance which she explores through exploiting and emphasising the materiality of her sculptural creations.
STEPHANIE FORREST
b.1986 Stephanie Forrest is based between London and Winchester.
Stephanie Forrest is an artist working across drawing, painting and print. At the core of her practice is a lyrical, painterly exploration of movement and light. With a background in Art History, she combines a wide scope of references with an intuitive creative approach. Rhythmic, gestural and immersive, her recent work explores the experience of movement and the inner landscape of the body, responding to dance as live performance and the bacchanal as a theme throughout art history.
Forrest is also a tutor at the Royal Drawing School where she completed The Drawing Year in ‘18-19 and has just completed the Off-Site Painting Programme at Turps Art School, London. She was awarded the ACS Drawing Prize in 2019 and has work in The Royal Collection and Government Art Collection.
GRIZELDA KITCHING
Grizelda Kitching utilises both traditional and contemporary processes such as screenprinting, mono print, painting and collage alongside digital form.
Grizelda’s practice primarily involves paper-based printmaking process led work. Typically using photography to capture images as a starting point, then develop a response to the original imagery through colour and mark making. The development continues through disruption and distortion and change of scale, developing an abstract, sometimes spontaneous mark through the use of mono screen print.
Grizelda was selected as a Jealous Gallery Prize winner in 2016 and continues to publish print editions through the Gallery.
DANNY ROMERIL
Danny Romeril (b.1996, Jersey Channel Islands) is an artist living and working in London. He has shown internationally including in London, Australia and Los Angeles and has work in collections across the globe. Exhibitions include; Danny Romeril and Florence Hutchings at the Cabin LA and One Hit Wonder at New Art Projects, London and Futures 2020 at Mall Galleries.
