Mr. Bawden’s House
Posted by Simon Lewin
'Mr Bawden's House' is another of the series of Christopher Brown's 14 'East Coasting' prints that will form part of his exhibition at St. Jude's. This opens on September 20th at 10am. Do join us if you can.
Brian Webb, of award winning design consultancy Webb & Webb, discusses Chris' prints...
“If Chris Brown’s postcard size pictures of East Anglian landmarks were picture postcards they would be the ones you would send to your closest friends.
The lino cuts that illustrate East Coasting, following on from 'Cuts from Memory', are full of incident and detail - look out for Edward Bawden, portfolio under his arm, walking out of the picture of 'Brick House'.
Bawden, Chris Brown’s tutor at the Royal College of Art wrote, “you are a line chap just as I am and as you know there is nothing that gives greater vivacity to a drawing than quality of line”. Bawden could have added colour which Chris now uses with delicious delicacy. ”
The 14 linocuts are hand-printed on Konoko handmade Japanese paper, each limited to an edition of 25 copies.
A limited number of each print are available for purchase online before our East Coasting exhibition opens at the gallery on 20th September 2008.
