Chloë Cheese (b. 1952)
Chloë Cheese, born in London, spent her childhood in the Essex village of Great Bardfield, observing the printmaking of her parents Bernard Cheese and Sheila Robinson – and their friends Edward Bawden and Michael Rothenstein. Chloë studied at Cambridge Art School before attending the Royal College of Art, London. Selected commissions House of Commons, a lithograph of The Vote Office; illustrations for ‘A Passion for Pasta’ by Antonio Carluccio; illustrations for ‘Walking the Bridge of Your Nose’ poems chosen by Michael Rosen for children. Public collections V&A, London; Arts Council of Great Britain; House of Commons; Tate Britain (print); and Museum of London “The print is based on a drawing I made in early spring when visiting Edinburgh. I wanted to evoke a sense of the grand architecture as seen by passers-by now and how they might relate to the statues from a different era.”
