The Lie of the Land; Press Gang Printmakers

Press Gang's annual summer exhibition of printmaking features the work of thirteen local artists.

Inspired by the theme The Lie of the Land, the exhibition features a wide range of traditional and contemporary printmaking techniques.

For the last twelve years Mike Glanville has run a printmaking workshop at Salcombe Art Club, and the artists involved form a lively group, sharing ideas and techniques in the mutually supportive and creative environment of the Loft Studio.

With a firm grounding in traditional printmaking techniques, the artists often take a contemporary, experimental approach to their work, and the spirit of the group permeates this annual exhibition of members' work.

This year's exhibition at Harbour House includes a wide range of approaches to relief and intaglio printmaking, such as lino and wood cut, drypoint, etching and collagraph, and monoprint and monotype. Members of Press Gang will be in the gallery throughout, and will be happy to explain how printing plates are made, and how ink is transferred from plate to paper, creating each time an original work of art.
