PRINT EXHIBITION
A joint exhibition by Sarah Kirby and Richard Gee

3rd July - 31st October

The printmakers were chosen to exhibit together as they both work from their imagination, sparked off by ideas, dreams and memories.

Sarah Kirby uses repetitive elements such as trees, towers and women within her imaginary landscapes. The same women can turn up in different locations, on a beach, in a garden or even holding a boat. They reveal different emotions through what they wear, how they stand and what they are doing.

Sarah Kirby "Nineteen Huts" Collagraph
Richard Gee will display a series of mono-prints derived from his own memories and ideas. The prints are colourful and simplistic representing the landscape and the animals within it.
Like Sarah, Richard also uses repetitive elements, such as a group of trees in a freshly furrowed field or a flock of birds in a bright swirling landscape.

Although they share similar starting points the two artists use diverse techniques. Sarah uses the process of intaglio etchings combined with a collagraph process and Richard creates mono-prints, a print pulled in an edition of one.
The limited edition prints will be displayed in sixteen frames and are sold unframed. Prints purchased during the exhibition cannot be collected until the beginning of November.
