Variations on a Theme is an exhibition that invites you to explore the rich diversity of artistic expression through a shared motif. Each piece in this collection, whether an aquatint, collagraph, drypoint, etching, linocut, lithograph, monoprint, or screen print, showcases the unique perspective and technique of its creator.
Richmond Printmakers is a cooperative of professional artists based in and around Richmond-upon-Thames. We work independently and come together to exhibit our work. Our supportive approach enables us to develop our creative practices by exploring and embracing new and experimental approaches, as well as promoting and preserving the traditions of printmaking. We each bring our individual and diverse work to a wide audience through our local and national exhibitions.

Ink + Paper = will show some of the many ways artists combine paper and ink to create an image including: aquatints, collagraphs, drypoints, etchings, linocuts, lithographs, monoprints and screen prints.
The art of printmaking can create striking and expressive images with strong colour and bold design, or more intricate and nuanced effects, achieving a high degree of sensitivity.
All the prints on display will offer a glimpse into the possibilities of printmaking; from simplicity and directness to delicacy and detail.
The subject-matter in the exhibition reflects the interests and preoccupations of the different artists, from landscape and figurative pieces to completely abstract works.
During the exhibition members of the Richmond Printmakers will be on hand in the gallery to demonstrate some of their processes and answer visitor’s questions.
