Lateral Inking – a solo show by Ieuan Edwards, linocut printmaker
Now until October 18, York Street Gallery, Ramsgate
Broadstairs artist Ieuan Edwards makes a third solo visit to York Street Gallery in Ramsgate with his show Lateral Inking.
Ieuan is a printmaker, specialising in the art of linocut. His work has been shown widely across the UK and beyond, including appearances at The Turner Contemporary and the Royal Academy of Arts.
Much of Ieuan’s work features distinctive Thanet local landmarks and he has a keen interest in our local heritage, whether it be the fairground architecture of Dreamland, the Brutalist lines of Arlington House or the pulhamite rockwork along Ramsgate seafront.
As well as making prints, Ieuan is an illustrator, particularly enjoying working with musicians on album cover and merchandise artwork. His latest project was with Lone Bison, a Ramsgate based electronic musician, on the cover for his album Wave Construction – featuring a slightly abstract image of the Scenic Railway at Dreamland.
Ieuan enjoys working with the community, having collaborated with local organisations including Ramsgate Arts Primary School and the Dreamland Heritage Trust.
Ieuan will be at the gallery from 10.30am – 4pm today (October 13) if you’d like to have a go at inking and pulling a print. All welcome.
