Her work explores contemporary urban landscape, especially London’s transport network which is depicted using a subtle but rich palette.   Graham Carter Originally from Gloucester, Graham took an Illustration degree at Brighton University, and a Post-Graduate Diploma at Central St. Martins, graduating in 2000. He now has a studio in Brighton, and has worked as a freelance printmaker and illustrator for nearly ten years. His work celebrates nature and childhood, and is inspired by vintage design and oriental folklore, with his own unique humour and strong narrative. He has enjoyed solo commissions from companies such as Orange, Bupa, Visa, Monster.com, and Camelot. He recently launched his own art gallery, Boxbird, with his partner, Alice.   Paul Catherall Paul Catherall was born in 1967 and trained as an illustrator at Leicester Polytechnic and has since become one of the UK's leading linocut printmakers. Using a clean and sharp palette inspired by commercial art of the 50's and 60's, he depicts various well-known landmarks from London, New York and Brighton, such as Tate Modern, Battersea Power Station, the Flatiron, Brooklyn Bridge and Brighton Pier. Commissions include London Transport, British Airways London Eye, the Sunday Times and the Royal Mail. He displays an expert eye for composition and colour and great draughtsmanship, achieving ultimately a delicate balance between classic commercial design and contemporary urban landscape.   Peter Chasseaud Peter Chasseaud is an artist, writer and producer of artist’s books who has lived in Lewes since 1973. He was a founder-member of the Tom Paine Project in 2000, which set up a working 18th Century style wooden Common Press in Lewes, Sussex.

As a commercial illustrator she has worked for many clients including WH Smiths, Asda, Tesco, BBC and Oxford University Press. Her inspiration comes from the natural world, particularly wildlife and the subtle colours and shifting character of the seasons in the British landscape. Her images are initially created on a computer, and then character and texture are introduced through the medium of silkscreen printing, and more recently gocco, which is a technique similar to silkscreen.   Brad Faine Born in 1945 in Brighton Brad Faine studied painting and printmaking at Leicester College of Art and at Goldsmiths College. He then taught printmaking part-time at Farnham College of Art and St. Martin's School of Art before setting up his own screenprinting studio in 1973. His early studies centred on an interest in conceptual art and later developed towards a concentration on colour field painting. While a student at Leciester he met Sydney Harry whose research into colour phenomena attracted his attention and since then his work has been concerned with the study of the qualities of colour and form without reference to natural objects.   Mary Fedden Mary Fedden was born in Bristol in 1915, and studied at the Slade School of Art in London on a scholarship. She briefly returned to Bristol to teach until the war broke out, and served in the Land Army. She was also commisioned to produce murals for the war effort. While studying at the Slade, she met and fell in love with printmaker Julian Trevelyan, who had a big influence on her work, establishing her distinctive style of still life characterized by a dreamlike quality and a passion for colour and pattern. She is a prolific painter and exhibits regularly. She was the first female tutor at the Royal College of Art to teach painting, one of her students being David Hockney. She was elected a Royal Academician and recieved an OBE in the 90's   Madeleine Floyd Born in 1969, Madeleine studied Fine Art and Illustration at Camberwell College of Art, and has achieved great success in both fields. She works from her studio in London and writes and illustrates her own books including the recent classic ‘Birdsong’, published by Anova Books. Her illustrations are informed by a strong draughtsmanship that captures the essence and emotion of the subjects she chooses, combining a timeless sensitivity with a gentle humour. With only a dip pen and a pot of ink she is able to capture the essence of a subject with the most minimal and elegant use of line. This collection of prints celebrates one of Madeleine’s great passions – British birds; their songs, characters and diversity.   Jane Foster Brighton based artist Jane Foster studied at the Royal Northern College of Music, and teaches the violin and piano part time, but she also has a passion for design from the 50’s and 60’s, and has a huge collection of fabrics from this period which she uses in her artwork. She divides her time between making items from vintage fabrics and screen printing textiles and prints. Her work is characterized by the use of bold colours and abstract geometric patterns, strongly influenced by Scandinavian design.   Donald Hamilton Fraser Donald Hamilton Fraser exhibited his highly acclaimed work in many cities all over the world, including Paris, New York, Tokyo and Zurich. He has been a Royal Academician since 1955, exhibiting at the RA 25 years of British Painting. His predominant subject matter is landscape which is strongly influenced by his Scottish descent and love of French painting from his study there in the 1950's. He layered thick bright paint with a pallette knife to produce an abstract dream-like quality. He sadly passed away in September 2009.   Terry Frost Sir Terry Frost was born in 1915 and began to paint while spending four years as a prisoner of war during World War II. On his return to England he studied at the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts. By the late 1950’s he had become established as a leading abstract painter and printmaker, exhibiting regularly in London and throughout the world. In 1974 he moved to Cornwall which proved a rich source of inspiration for much of his work. In 1998 he was granted a knighthood. He regrettably passed away on the 1st September 2003.   Grosvenor School The Grosvenor School of Modern Art was opened in London in 1925. Here Claude Flight lectured on the art of linocutting; Cyril Power on architecture; the young Sybil Andrews was the School Secretary and Lill Tschudi was a student from Switzerland. The linocuts of the Grosvenor School enjoyed a brilliant but all too brief popularity. In recent years the demand for their linocuts has grown and all the major artists of the Grosvenor School now have a worldwide reputation with their work in major public museums on all continents. They capture the spirit of their time, immortalising the rapidly changing world of the 1920s and 1930s.   Jonny Hannah Jonny Hannah was born in Dumfermline and studied illustration at Liverpool Art School and the Royal College of Art. He graduated in 1998 and has since worked as a graphic designer & illustrator for clients such as The Daily Telegraph and The New York Times. He creates screen printed books, posters and prints for his own Cake & Ale Press, winning 2nd place in the 2005 V&A Illustration Awards for ‘Hot Jazz Special’ , a book of hot rhymes and bold poster-style art.   Jason Hicklin Jason Hicklin was born in 1966 and studied at St. Martin’s, graduating from the Central School of Art in 1993, when he was appointed as a member of the Royal Society of Painters and Printmakers. He lectures in printmaking at the City and Guilds Art School in London, and has a studio in Montgomeryshire. His drawings, paintings and etchings are inspired by Britain’s rugged landscape and weather. The etchings featured here focus on London, including Battersea Power Station and Hammersmith Bridge.   Patrick Hughes Born in 1939 Patrick Hughes had no formal art education and was largely self-taught. He sheltered from the German bombs during World War 2 under the staircase of his grandparents house, and was riveted by what a staircase looks like from underneath- the reversal of it's normal self. He has held several one-man shows particularly at the Angela Flowers Gallery and has participated in various group exhibitions in the UK and Europe. In the 1970s and 80s Hughes was inspired by rainbows, 'A rainbow is a transitory event composed of water, air and light. I tried to give it a mass, permanence and personality.' Hughes rainbows are the reverse of the romantic: hard-edged, leaning against walls, emerging from dustbins, posted through letter-boxes. They exemplify those qualities in art which he cherishes above all: the paradoxical, the absurd,the magical and the poetic.   Kim Jenkins Kim’s work has a unique folk aesthetic and a positive spirit that counters much of the hard, shocking images in the world today. Born in Hull, she moved to London to study printmaking at Camberwell College of Art, where she has since taught. She uses found objects such as reclaimed wood, stickers and paper cut outs, and utilises various techniques such as foil printing and screenprinting. Her inspiration comes from wildlife, especially birds and from her numerous bicycle trips abroad. In 2007 she featured in ‘Happy London’ a group exhibition at the Paul Smith ’SPACE’ gallery in Tokyo, and she also sells her own recycled bags and printed products to various shops including the RCA shop and the South Bank Centre.   Carl March Carl March was born in Solihull in 1959, and studied at Solihull College of Art, followed by two years intensive study in Milan with master printmaker Olivero Masi. His etchings are characterised by a delicate crayon-like texture known as ‘soft ground’, which gives a distinctive subtlety to his work. Elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, his work is widely represented in many public and private collections both nationally and internationally. He has also undertaken many commissions , including a piece presented to HRH Princess Anne at Buckingham Palace.   Gilly McCadden Gilly McCadden studied Fine Art at Brighton College of Art. She later worked for many years as a colourist for a London based Fine Art Print publisher, specializing in hand painted colour separations for limited edition screenprints. A deep understanding of traditional screenprinting techniques gained during these years, combined with a love of horticulture, has led to her latest series of striking and evocative plant-based images. In her work she seeks to re-describe and create a new understanding of the plant form whilst retaining its intrinsic character. She prints at Artizan Editions studio in Brighton and has been widely exhibited at art fairs and in galleries throughout the UK.   Bruce McLean Bruce McLean was born in 1944 and studied at Glasgow School of Art in 1961 and at St Martins School of Art in 1963. He rebelled against his formal teachers and engaged in creating temporary sculptures, often using his own body, and performance art which satirised the art world. He concentrated more on painting and printmaking from the mid 1970’s, parodying contemporary art. He has had many one man shows in Europe and America including a retrospective at the Tate Gallery in 1972   Paul Nash Paul Nash, landscape painter and wood engraver, was born in London on 11 May 1889 and was educated at St. Pauls school and then Slade School of Art (unlike his younger brother John who had no formal art training) He served on the Western Front in WW1 and after being invalided in 1917 and was appointed as an official war artist. He continued this role in WW2 and died in 1946.   Anna Pugh Anna Pugh was born in wartime Kent in 1938. One parent was a vet, and the other a gardener, fostering a love of nature and animals. She was educated at a convent boarding school, followed by a graphics course where she developed an interest in Persian art, and its magical and surreal geometric designs. This inspired her depictions of the flora and fauna of the countryside, reminiscent of Howard Hodgkins. She has produced over two hundred paintings housed in private collections all over the world, and has exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer exhibition.   Eric Ravilious Eric Ravilious was born in 1903 and studied under Paul Nash at the Royal College of Art. He was best known for his wood engravings and book illustrations, and was also a profilic watercolourist. He also engraved glass and designed pottery for Wedgewood. He was appointed official war artist in 1939 and unfortunately was killed in a plane crash three years later whilst on a rescue mission off the coast of Iceland. In 2003 a major retrospective of his work was held at the Imperial War Museum.   Carrie Reichardt Carrie Reichardt represents the Great British Empire as ‘Cruel Britannia’ through her unique anarchic vision. Subverting many of the British Establishment icons; Union Jacks, Royalty and Quaint English Tea Sets and customs, she sets out to smash the system but in rather genteel way……   Barry Reigate Barry Reigate was born in 1971, London. He studied at Camberwell College of Arts (1990-93) and then Goldsmiths (1995-97). He has had solo shows and group shows including ‘Rude Britannia: British Comic Art’ Tate Gallery 2010, and ‘Newspeak: British Art Now’ Saatchi Gallery 2010. Reigate's work has been described as ‘pop porn’: he uses debased sexual cartoon ephemera to provide a critical allegory for art historical attitudes as well as current cultural zeitgeist. Reigate merges the gloss of graphic design with integrity of expressionism, creating packed and jumbled compositions often with a lecherous/fetishist theme. His use of controversial subjects highlight the hypocrisy that surrounds issues such as sexuality, art, race and class.   Sonia Rollo Sonia was born and brought up near Manchester. She attended the University of Glasgow graduating in 1968 with a degree in Botany. For several years Sonia worked as editor of a scientific journal and in 1985 began to study printmaking at Morley College. She has exhibited throughout the UK since 1993 and her work has proved particularly popular in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. Sonia grew up surrounded by a selection of different animals including Hilary the pig who would let Sonia ride on her back. It is clear that the natural world still exerts an important influence on her work.   Robert Ryan Robert Ryan was born in Cyprus in 1962. He studied fine art at Nottingham Trent Polytechnic, and went on to an MA in printmaking at the Royal College of Art in London. His work is created by painstakingly hand cutting delicate papers with a scalpel, that are sometimes developed into silkscreen prints. In addition to his personal work, Robert has collaborated with Tatty Devine, Liberty and Fortnum and Mason, and also exhibited at Paul Smith's Tokyo and Milan stores   Richard Spare Most of Richard’s painting derive from his travels or from aspects of domestic life such as objects he enjoys having around him. He recently designed a garden in his studio which has proved a rich source of inspiration and a starting point for much of his work. The velvety qualities of his work is achieved by using a drypoint etching technique with the inspiration for the vibrant colours coming from his travels to India and Nepal. Richard has exhibited widely both in the UK and abroad most recently his work has appeared in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. An experienced printer he has editioned work for such artists as David Hockney and Howard Hodgkin and has continued to divide his time between working for contemporary artists and a strong commitment to his own work.   School prints In 1946 two series of artworks were commisioned by School Prints Ltd. They were original hand-drawn colour lithographs editioned in large numbers to be sold cheaply to schools in order to bring the children into direct contact with real works of art. The artists that were approached enthusiastically depicted a world of reassuring familiarity, nowhere is there any reference to the devastation of the war. The drawn frame around each picture meant it could be pinned directly to the classroom wall. Some are of exceptional quality, especially the works by John Nash, John Tunnard, L.S. Lowry and Henry Moore. They epitomise the atmosphere of post-war optimism that culminated in the Festival of Britain. Now sixty years on, it is remarkable to find surviving original stock of these splendid prints.   Sarah Young Sarah Young is a printmaker and illustrator, best known for her black and white scraperboard work, as well as linocuts, screenprints and collagraphs. Her work is primarily figurative, drawing inspiration from myths and folk tales. As an illustrator she has worked for various magazines and publishers including Dorling Kindersley, the BBC, House and Garden, and the Telegraph. She is the co-founder of the Brighton Art Fair, and also Brighton's Design and Craft Fair.   Framed prints
