Rye Art Gallery is delighted to announce that our biennial exhibition: ‘The Art of British Printmaking’ will open with a Private View from 11 am on Saturday May 11th 2024.
Printmaking has been a key part of the language of art for many centuries and the focus of our exhibition is to show printmaking, particularly as an original form of artistic expression as well as the means of disseminating and reproducing work.
The show will represent the many different processes of printmaking such as etching; woodcuts; lino prints; lithography as well as screen printing.
The exhibition will have a local focus and as with many of our recent exhibitions staged here at Rye Art Gallery, we are curating this show alongside important works held in our permanent collections including those by Sir Frank Short, Robert Sergeant Austin, Margaret Barnard, John Piper, Piranesi, Paul Nash, Edward Burra, Norman Ackroyd, and Edward Twohig.
