Cornwall Art Galleries Porthminster Gallery St Ives Cornish and British Artists Contemporary Modern Art for Sale

CURRENTLY SHOWING:

'LIMITED EDITION'

ORIGINAL AND AFFORDABLE ARTIST PRINTS

12 FEBRUARY - 23 MARCH 2024

 

For our opening show of 2024, the gallery is pleased to present this informative selling show of affordable signed and editioned original prints by established contemporary artists, alongside museum-quality prints by 20th Century St Ives and British names.


‘Prints’ are regarded by the public – in general, as being only copies of original artworks, and not original artworks themselves. To help dispel this misconception, the gallery set out to curate this appealing and accessible exhibition to celebrate the rich diversity of traditional printmaking techniques.

Trevor Price is an
 award-winning St Ives-based artist printmaker, whose Cornish Roots inspire his masterful monochrome relief engravings, colour etchings, and linocut prints. Scenes of St Ives Bay and Barbara Hepworth’s Garden are key themes in his works.

Sally Spens is an internationally exhibited Cornwall-based artist and printmaker, whose exquisite, intricate etchings are influenced by the artist’s designs for Japanese kimonos, and by Japanese culture.

Melvyn Evans
 is one of Britain’s finest printmakers, whose bold, semi-abstract linocut prints are inspired by his deep connection to landscape, and his fascination with the traces left by its ancient peoples. Even so, his works exude a ‘mid-century modern’ vibe.
