'Wood, Metal, Stone Printmaking' An exhibition of works by Anthony Broad, Mallatratt & Scarlett Massel
Check out an exhibition of works by Anthony Broad, Mallatratt & Scarlett Massel at the Red Gate Gallery
'Wood, Metal, Stone Printmaking' is a new exhibition of creative work being show at the Red Gate Gallery.
Sharing a passionate need to explore the possibilities of Fine Art Printmaking as an expressive medium to describe their interest in human interaction, wood, metal and stone are the raw materials for their printmaking. The peculiarities of each material inform their practice.
Anthony Broad - As a practicing lithographer, Anthony Broad exploits the transparent nature of the medium to layer different coloured drawings on top of each other. These drawings, developed from mono prints, are generated mainly from images of sportsmen. They explore the nature of masculinity, male interaction and sporting theatre. The figures at the heart of the work are avatars expressing anger, hope, joy, loss and sometimes tenderness.
Mallatratt - Absorbed with woodcutting in printmaking, Mallatratt has developed a technique combining a painterly intuitive reductive approach with the more traditional Japanese pre-planed woodblock approach.
Scarlett Massel - Her career as a print-maker is relatively recent and after studying with Richard Chester from Atelier 17 in Paris, she graduated from Winchester School of Art with a B.A (Hons) in printmaking. "I feel that my itinerant life has instilled in me a feeling of both belonging while at the same time not doing so, wherever I may be. I am interested in what makes us who we are, what makes us individual and unique and at the same time, in the greater scheme of things, just one among many."
The exhibition runs from Friday April 25th to Thursday May 1st and is open Saturday to Wednesday from 2.30pm to 6.30pm.
