And Then… by Richard Gorman

SO Fine Art Editions, Saturday 28th October - Saturday 25th November

For Gorman, printmaking has been an occasional but integral part of his practice, which involves creating his fine art prints in a collaborative way – between the artist and print studio or master printer (who is usually an artist as well). Working in such manner allows Gorman to glean inspiration and knowledge from the master printer he works with, and all the experience they bring in that particular medium. These relationships are important for any artist of Gorman’s stature to investigate the medium of print and make works that have a different texture/finish or result and of course because prints are editioned, it makes the artist’s work more affordable.

Gorman has worked in many print studios worldwide, utilising different materials and printmaking techniques – from rough plywood woodblock prints to the litho stone for lithographs. The surface also impacts Gorman’s work and he acquired skill in the traditional methods of paper making in Japan, which has greatly influenced the papers he prints on and the textures he creates.

He made prints at ‘A Fleur de Pierre’ the French Atelier of Jacques and Etienne de Champfleury. Operating from Paris for over thirty years the workshop is dedicated exclusively to the complex and fascinating process of stone lithography, and is one of the very few remaining studios still using this traditional stone technique today. He later worked with Michael Woolworth, also in Paris, concentrating on woodcuts, lithographs and monotypes.
