It’s all in the Detail as New Print Exhibition Prepa...

An exciting exhibition of traditional printmaking is coming to the city of Leeds at the end of this month to celebrate the work of two very special printmakers. Yorkshire printmaker Jonathan Ashworth specialises in the production of traditional woodcuts and wood engravings. These are two closely related methods of printmaking using extremely fine and detailed marks. Each print method has a very distinctive appearance, but woodcut prints especially so, since they encourage the artist to work intuitively with the natural materials so as to bring out incredible subtleties of texture. His work aims to meld the age-old sensibilities of the natural world with contemporary concerns of the city. Jonathan’s prints will be on display alongside the work of Andy English. Andy English specialises in the delicate art of wood engraving. He engraves on end grain woodblocks through a lens and then prints his work using Victorian hand presses. He is well known for his engraved bookplates and has received over one hundred commissions for these from around the world. They have featured in many books and magazines about the subject. In 2015, Royal Mail issued a miniature sheet of stamps on the theme of honeybees. This features Andy's hand coloured engravings. He also engraved some of the text and a floral border. Andy on his printmaking practice: “Some of my earliest memories are of drawing and, from my childhood, I took pleasure in both detailed observational drawings and illustrating stories. My adult work has developed directly from these experiences but using the medium of that most exacting form of printmaking; wood engraving. This gave me the detail that is characteristic of my work and allowed me to make multiple images; something else that I have enjoyed since childhood. I like to make images which tell a story, sometimes with half hidden elements and visual puns.” You can see the work of these two talented printmakers from Saturday 30th June in The Leeds Craft Centre and Design Gallery just tucked away underneath the City’s Art Gallery. For further information on the gallery’s exhibition programme you can sign up to their monthly newsletter via their website or visit the What’s On page of their website www.craftcentreleeds.co.uk
