At Stratford Old Town Hall: Magic and Alchemy
17th February - 3rd March 2011
The Vision Artists ventured on a journey of magic and alchemy, of experimentation with mark-making and colour within a medium that, as Tracy Emin says "never quite turns out how you think it might when you lift up the paper".
Monoprinting is about the unexpected, about taking what comes and working with it, changing it, cropping it and drawing or painting into it to create something that works as a piece of art, whether it be figurative or abstract, without losing the unique self-expression that comes from the individual artist, using the strengths and subtleties of mark and tone that they alone produced.
The work in this exhibition is the result of this process. Some of the artists have developed their experiments into a series of themed works such as landscape, natural form, movement, while others have produced stand-alone works, each with their own mood and story to tell.
This exhibition was officially opened by Councillor Bryan Collier.
