JENNI ALLEN Jenni Allen is a London based printmaker working with the medium of screen print to produce limited edition artworks. Originally a graduate in printed textile design, her work incorporates pattern, texture, bold colour and has a loose repetitive feel.

She plays with hand drawing, found imagery and geometry which she seeks out from the everyday environment, abstracting details from architecture and natural forms. Favouring the hand made over digital, her preferred methods for planning her images include hand-cut paper or brush and ink on film, this leads to playful and intuitive and fluid placement of shapes and mark making.

The work is often presented within the confines of a circle, which hints at a snapshot of an continuous pattern, again a nod to the artist's textile background.

LORRAINE BOTBOL Lorraine Botbol is originally from Edinburgh, Scotland but now lives and works in London.

Botbol qualified in Photographic Fine Art Printing as well as Fashion Photography over 20 years ago. Having been introduced to printmaking in 2017 it gave her images a new lease of life which in turn gave her the passion and freedom to adapt her photographic images. Botbol formulates/merges the two processes and more often than not it has a unique outcome. A whole new world had just opened up for her.

It wasn't too long before the experiments started.

Copper etching, drypoint, screen printing and finally settled for polymer etching as her favourite technique.

Colour always plays a part in her printmaking.

Botbol's subject matter is varied, always looking for something that captures her attention. The idea of 'here but not quite here' appeals to her imagination. Often found saying "if I want an exact image, I would just take a photograph".

CY BERNHEIM Cy Bernheim is a London based artist who works predominately within printmaking. Their practice is inspired by nature and the urban landscape, with the intention to create works acknowledging the complexity and mystery of the environment we inhabit, whether naturally occurring or man-made. Bernheim uses drawing and photography to capture the details of her surroundings and printmaking processes, in particular etching and digital media, to translate her findings into still and moving image.

Bernheim has a degree in Molecular Biology from UCL and a degree in Textile Design from Chelsea College of Art and Design. Her background in science and textile design have greatly influenced her work in terms of subject matter, focus on detail, colour, texture and materials.

Bernheim has exhibited at the London Elephant Parade 2010, The Affordable Art Fair, the National Original Print Exhibition, the St Barbe Museum Open Exhibition, and the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair. Her work is held in private and public collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Printmakers’Council Archive at Scarborough Art Gallery. Bernheim is a member of East London Printmakers and the Printmakers' Council.

SUSAN VERA CLARKE Susan Vera Clarke is a British artist who lives and works in East London. With a central focus on Etching, Susan explores the boundaries of intaglio techniques and challenges what we traditionally considered to be a ‘print’.

She adopts a playful use of colour, stencil and other more conventional etching steps to draw her image and through this allows the method to dictate the aesthetic of each edition. As a result she steps away from the stereotype that’s normally associated with Etching and finds the true impression from her matrix, the plate..

REBECCA HOLMES Though rendered with precision, the landscapes Rebecca depicts are a composite of figurative elements, discrete natural phenomena, recorded with charcoal, ink and photography, cut up, distorted and combined to create an unnatural location, one which speaks as directly to the emotions as it does to the senses.

Rebecca makes most of her work in the middle of the night when it is quiet and she can let the image evolve.

She is far more interested in how a place makes a person feel, and what response or connection they may have to it, rather than how it “really” looks.

Rebecca strives to go beyond appearance, to reach around and through it, to reach for something more essential. Nature, to her, is an event, not a static space.

Rebecca graduated from Loughborough University of Art and Design, where she studied Fine Art, in 2011.

Since then, her practice has focused on drawing and printmaking. She is a member of East London Printmakers and recently exhibited at The London Original Print Fair in Somerset House, The Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, and her own solo show at Eames Fine Art.

EMMA REYNOLDS Emma Reynolds prints are characterised by a love of playful and experimental processes that help to explore and interpret her fascination with the ever changing light of the sky, her love of birdlife and her efforts to hold still a precious moment in time.

Coming from a motion graphics background, Reynolds uses her digital compositing skills to help plan her silkscreen prints, that often mix drawing, painting and photography. For an aesthetic of reverie and reflection, Reynolds’prints favour vintage colour schemes that capture Halycon moments and hold them still.

Showcasing an appreciation of open space and a clear horizon, many of Reynolds’works centre on a motif, from birds, to children, to flowers, seeking to connect the viewer to a moment of their own. Urban or pastoral, Reynolds’landscapes are often dominated by a sweeping expanse of sky. The effect creates a pause to encourage our minds to wander from our increasingly busy and urbane lives even just for an instant.

ANNIE RICKARD STRAUS Annie Rickard Straus is a commercial illustrator and fine art printmaker from and based in London. After completing her studies at Central St Martins and the Glasgow School of Art she began creating illustrations and lettering for a range of organisations and brands across the UK and beyond. She came back to printmaking in 2017 as an outlet for more abstract, colourful, and less commercial work.

She loves screen-printing for the possibility of quantity and scale, and is obsessed with colour and how each layer sits together, each informing the last and next. At the heart of her work is energy, movement, tempo and unpolished shapes.

THOM IGWEWALKER Thom Igwe-Walker lives and works in London. He has an MA in Printmaking from Camberwell UAL and a Ba from Glasgow School of Art. He is a member of East London Printmakers.

His work deals with concerns of how people understand and negotiate the physical landscapes around them, exploring these topics through drawing, printmaking, photography, poetry, short fiction and audio work.

His recent print work looks at the physicality of forms combining, through colour and line and tone. The work aims to explore relationships and interactions of separate elements and how they can combine together.

JAIRO ZALDUA & NICOLA JANE GREEN Jairo Zaldua and Nicola Green are experimental printmakers, who collaborate and create imagery together through mediums of digital, silkscreen, linocut, collage and three-dimensional art, sometimes incorporating found objects (old Victorian doors), performance and sound. Creating site specific and interactive printmaking installations and workshops, has led them to exhibit in a range of unconventional spaces including a derelict theatre, a disused swimming pool, an old crypt and a nightclub.

Other notable events include a residency at the Kentish Town Health Centre, Sadler’s Wells Theatre and the Museum of Childhood.

During lockdown, they embarked on a collaborative online project ‘Imaginary Friends in Isolation’, which ran initially from April to December 2020. Due to circumstances and the popularity of the project it is ongoing and continues intermittently with the intention of exhibiting the results in a physical space.

They appear live every Wednesday for an online collage demonstration, utilising their recycled screen prints.
