Self-Portrait.

Mon 20th Sep 2010

I've just finished a series of lithographs called 'Self-Portrait', though it is a portrait in which I am represented by a collection of objects. It is the result of a rather ambitious seven stone lithograph project that I set myself over the summer. This is a continuation of my thoughts about portraiture. It is interesting to try and represent a person through things. I managed to complete the work just in time to enter in the Leicester Print Workshop members open exhibition, Passion2Print, which this year had a minimum size of 70 cm by 50 cm. I am delighted that it has been accepted for exhibition. The show opens on Friday 1st October at Embrace Arts in Leicester (www.le.ac.uk/racentre) The show runs until 10th December but is only open on weekdays. It should be an interesting show because the pieces are all large scale.
