Llynnau Mymbyr I
Traeth Aberdesach
and Yng Nghysgod Y Garn

February 7th - New work in the Landscape Gallery

Four new linocuts have just been added to the landscape gallery and one in particular might appeal to any hopeless romantics out there wondering what to get for their beloved on February 14th. This is also printed in red as a separate edition.


February 7th - Busy start

The start of 2013 has been unusually busy art-wise as I've had to manage the logisitics of getting work to various galleries across Wales. The most recent dash was to take work down to Pembrokeshire for the first exhibition of the year at The White Lion Street gallery in Tenby. This is a group exhibition of invited gallery artists and opens on Feb 16th, 2013.

 

2012 - New and ongoing work and news

November 29th - "Dail, mwsogl a rhaeadr fach gudd"
(Leaves, moss and a small hidden waterfall). A Sunday afternoon walk near Capel Curig in autumn sunshine unearthed this scene and I was hooked and happily back in my world of waterfalls. Moving away from my 'usual' grey palette of colours, I wanted to convey the colours and light filtering through the trees. Having said that, the edition of 35 is an edition varie*, so a proportion of the linocuts are in a grey palette. This new linocut will be part of the Christmas exhibition at oriel Tegfryn, Menai Bridge from December 7th through to the 31st, 2012.

_________________________________________________

Artist/Printmaker Ann Lewis' work proves that although considered by some as one of the simplest forms of printmaking, linocutting should never be underestimated as a challenging, creative and exciting medium capable of producing a broad range of evocative images. Ann creates original, reduction method, hand pulled linocuts in her studio in North Wales.

Ann's prints, paintings and drawings are almost without exception inspired by the North Wales landscape.

Ann's work can currently be seen at the Tegfryn Gallery, Menai Bridge, Anglesey, Galeri in Betws-y-Coed, The Royal Cambrian Academy in Conwy, Tonnau/Oriel y Môr in Pwllheli, White Lion Street Gallery, Tenby and Lion Street Gallery, Hay on Wye.


My Helfa Gelf space at Oriel Caffi Croesor, Sept 2011

All print editions are printed on Zerkall White, smooth, 145gsm and 225g or Fabriano Artistico, White, smooth, 300gsm paper.

 

Open Edition, "Canu Grwndi"

I've thought long and hard and asked myself (and others) many questions about producing an Open Edition linocut, where the number of prints is only limited by the lifespan of the lino. I've eventually satisfied my own concerns that because each print will have minor variations due to the hand inking and pressing processes, each one does qualify as an original print.
