The Royal Society of Printmakers has a show at the Bankside Gallery next to Tate Modern in London at the moment. I have two linocut prints included in the exhibition alongside many other fine printmakers covering a complete spectrum of printmaking processes. #printmakers #RE #linocut #printartists

Varvara Stepanova, 'Family' (1920)

If you are interested there is an excellent display of about twenty David Lucas mezzotints made in conjunction with John Constable at the V&A. Based on Constable's paintings but extraordinarily contemporary looking in their execution. Not getting much publicity but well worth a visit.

My @photoworks-uk.bsky.social pamphlet, Persona Digitalia, is on display at the V&A South Kensington as part of David Solo’s PhotoPoetry exhibition and reading room on until 20th September. Read more about the exhibition here: www.vam.ac.uk/exhibitions/... photoworks.org.uk/shop/p5-vik-...

These are bound for INK PAPER AND PRINT at Lewes Town Hall Saturday 2nd May 10.30 to 4.30. Book free tickets in advance on Eventbrite. Or £2 on the door. I’ll have books, cards, prints, boxes and collages.
