Poetry of Place

17 Aug-16 Sep 2017

Overview

Running from 17 August to 16 September 2017, Poetry of Place showcases artworks by Japanese and British printmakers, illustrating an intercultural dialogue inspired by the experiences of the artists travelling throughout Japan and Europe respectively. The exhibition explores the theme of place as the site of memories and the bonding that occurs between individuals and their environments. Real or imagined, physical or symbolic, coming from the past, the present, or the terrain that lies between, places are depicted in diverse geographical and temporal locations, sharing a visual language that runs through different printmaking processes from lithography, etching, aquatint, to relief and serigraphy.
