LEY ROBERTS
FEATURED ARTIST
11th October to 7th November 2025
This new collection demonstrates the beauty and versatility of traditional metal plate etching as a medium for contemporary landscape works. It is Ley’s very first collection to be inspired by Polzeath and the surrounding landscape. Her images are based on her observational pen and ink drawings, translated through traditional intaglio printmaking techniques. They invite viewers to discover beauty within the everyday and commonplace through closely observed light, and the ways in which it can enhance a subject or bestow a place, object, or person with an alluring nobility.
