Individual Shows at UWE
| Heterodox Mr. Stephen Mumberson Middlesex University England With the feel of icons or the hand coloured litho postcards from the 1950’s which forms a broad summary of my visual interests of the last 20 years, on a selection of small canvases. |
 |
| Skylights Mr. Alastair Clark Edinburgh Printmakers Scotland The culmination of a project which began with UWE’s Perpetual Portfolio in 2005 – the first fully digital work I produced. The exhibition takes the theme of the Northern Lights an elusive subject, rarely seen in Scotland. |

 |
| "Alien Landscapes" plus a selection of recent works Pete Williams The Print Market Workshop Wales 5 specially commissioned large Woodcut panels for a special outdoor exhibition which is likely to explore the themes of home and belonging – but is still a work in progress. |

Three medium format prints capture the picturesque landscape of a long abandoned sawmill in a remote area up the Pacific coast of British Columbia, Canada. |

 |
| Dilemma or Similarity? : War and Football F Gonca Ilbeyi Demir Anadolu University Turkey This series contains prints formed in the association with war and football. ‘War and football’ are far from each other in some cases, but also they are very close to each other. Today, identity and nationalism are latent focal points for observing uncivilized acts. |
 |
| Red Colour sounds Richard Webb England A contemporary reading and engagement on the dialogue of “ Colour as A language” challenging the assumptions and propositions of Artists like Kandinsky, Albers and Itten. |
 |
| Painting on a plate / Printing onto Canvas Corinna Button England A collection of artworks which blur the boundaries between printed editions and paintings. “I like to work very physically, scraping and carving in both media…I don’t always make a print suitable for editioning in the conventional sense.” |
 |
| Faccia a Faccia / Face to Face Antonietta Covino-Beehre Monash University Australia From a body of work titled ‘Lifeline’, these works are inspired by elements of the body that I felt left an ‘imprint’ - the human mark. Presenting an element of human fragility, hidden and vulnerable, that lays within us all but rarely surfaces. |
 |
| Provenance Mr. Nick Devison Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge School of Art England Provenance brings together the work of three artists which interrogates the notion of authenticity and the provisional nature of meaning. Through a variety of print applications Nick Devison, Jo Love and Mark Shaw expose the shifting nature of perception in relation to found, invented and appropriated images. |
 |
| Wordscapes Ms. Valeria Brancaforte Spain Languages, whether poetic, literary, or foreign have always served as nourishment, an indispensable complement, the start and end points of my artistic fluency. The technique of woodcut and linocut allows me to carve elaborate vestments and dress the text with illustrations. This process, requiring time and dedication, is the perfect medium for me to entice the semantic valences from a word to transcend, in the end, its very meaning and redefine each letter, each word into a visual spectacle. This craft is a way for me to envision new alphabetic resonances, to create new labyrinths and magic conversations. |
 |
| Masters of the Classics Jan Pettersson Bergen National Academy of the Arts Norway A selection of 14 well known paintings recontextualised as prints out from the historical context of reproduction that was used in the late 19th century by publishers in Europe. |
 |
| Site Surface - Transformation of the Commonplace Ms. Jenny Peterson Australia Content and ideas in this body of work discuss the way people carve up, cut up and slice the land as though it is just another commodity to be consumed and owned and quarrelled over. Human space and land ownership are alluded to in subtle or obvious ways. |
 |
| Urgency and Agency : Multiples in the Public Space Prof. John Hitchcock University of Wisconsin-Madison United States of America John Hitchcock’s current artwork consists of mythological hybrid creatures (buffalo, wolf, boar, deer, moose) and military weaponry (tanks and helicopters) based on his childhood memories and stories of growing up in the Wichita Mountains of Oklahoma next to the US field artillery military base Ft Sill. He explores notions of good, evil, death, and life cycles. His depictions of beasts, animals, and machines act as a metaphors for human behavior and cycles of violence. His artwork is a response to intrusive behaviour by humans towards nature and other humans. |

 |
| Alice's Garden and other Realities Mrs. Louise Bloom Canada Works inspired by personal revelations about the human condition. Word and symbol become metaphor. This is my own narrative, looking for it's expression through image. I am never far from a literary process. The characters from Alice’s Garden are well established literary icons in new garb, carrying their own celebrity and solemn symbology. |
 |
| Are you looking at me? Justin Diggle University of Utah United States of America The theme of the Portfolio takes as its central focus the idea of Surveillance and how this may be manifested in our increasingly technological society. The diverse responses of the artists in the portfolio will reflect their different backgrounds and present-day concerns and will perhaps answer some of the following questions. What are the positive and negative aspects of this monitoring? How does this affect us as individuals? Are there basic freedoms that are being eroded? and do these technologies change the way we interact with others? |
 |
| INCISE Ms. Jenny Smith Studio 114, WASPS Studios Scotland An investigation into the definition of drawing in the context of memory and place. The work will be in a variety of media, and have particular reference to the way hand rendered imagery can be interpreted within the digital medium of laser cutting. |
 |
| Imprint of the Nature Jelena Sredanovich Academy of fine arts, Novi Sad Serbia The project consists of 10 woodcuts which I have been produced since 2007. For the past two years the reflections of trees on calm ponds, waves which curl in a way to cause the vibrating effect of the light beams, shadows that overlap with the circles of water are the most frequent subjects of my prints. |
 |

 |
| Recent Productions in Print and 3D Mr. Andrew Folan National College of Art and Design Ireland My current practice uses quasi-religious imagery combined with contemporary social and metaphysical themes.The exhibition would include these works and a proposed series on similar themes using Rapid Prototype components combined with print. |
 |
| Climbing over Britain Mr. David Ferry Cardiff School of Art and Design, UWIC Wales A new and ongoing set of prints inspired from my original Artists book entitled ‘belligerent rock intrusions…mainly in black and white’.

 |
| Masks Unmasked Wuon Gean Ho East London Printmakers England The 15 prints in the Mask series explore the notion that humans have more to their surface appearance than meets the eye. As we walk through life, we accumulate memories: ghosts; attachments and connections; nostalgia for the past and expectations for the future. I wanted to explore the expression of inner emotions and true histories, and show faces that are essentially stripped of the mask of social pretences. |
 |
