Beatrice Boyle limited edition print celebrates the female figure, reduced to a few simple lines, the colour recalls flesh in flat monochrome.

Found materials are often the starting point for Bobby Dowler, debris that he finds in other artists’ studios or unwanted household materials – these remnants inspire him to make shapes and forms which he then glues together to create a painting. This exploration into print was the first time Dowler had worked in the medium; he says ‘I felt compelled to freely draw of my own accord filling up the space of the plate with whatever came into my mind at that moment.’ Marks are swept together and images are created with a freeform energy that moves beyond the restrictions of the paper form.
