Limited Edition Print – Hugo Wilson, Untitled, 2013
Hugo Wilson lives and works in London. His work has been exhibited at the The National Museum, Stockholm, Ateneum Art Museum of the Finnish National Museum, MODEM Centre for Modern and Contemporary Arts in Debrecen, Busan Metropolitan Art Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, and the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. Wilson is collected by the New York Public Library, the Deutsche Bank Collection, the Janet de Botton Collection, the United States Library of Congress and many others. He came to international attention in 2010 at the Busan Biennale, and in 2011 and 2012 respectively was offered solo exhibitions at Project B Gallery, Milan and Nicodim Gallery, LA. Wilson works across media including drawing, painting, installation and sculpture. He is decidedly contemporary, even avant-garde in his pursuit of discovering meaning in today’s world. However, he is clearly affected by history – not simply the chronology of the past, but the complicated story of art’s relationship with religion, science and the politics of Church and State.

While working on the Elvira print at the historical printmaking studio Il Bisonte, Sylvie Auvray surprised the technicians with the imaginative selection of materials and unconventional methods – rather than using the traditional etching pen on copper plate, she used different liquids in order to create imagery. The result was a large shape in the center of the work reminiscent of a ghostly spirit, so she named the print after Elvira –after the local legend of a young beauty who haunts the woods of Villa Lena.

Gently resting on a mattress and wrapped in their bed sheets, Adeline’s “creatures” seem gently kissed by the peeking moonlight, while a grainy grayness invades the darker corners of their “incubedroom”. A window into their quiet intimacy. Adeline De Monseignat’s drawing that inspired this work, is the starting point for an installation that one day will become a reality.

Beatrice Boyle limited edition print celebrates the female figure, reduced to a few simple lines, the colour recalls flesh in flat monochrome. Through a series of abstractions, the figure becomes removed from the original life drawings, paintings and sculptures it derived from – it becomes a symbol, a representation of its simplest form.
