It's not a print show but I find that it's mostly prints that snag my eye. I was particularly taken by Milá Fürstová and looked up the website - very precise work, but inventive, with quite a lot of blind embossing. I'd like to see her work for real - I'll have to look out for an exhibition.
I had (still have) a thought that I might like to enter something for the annual Ing Discerning Eye (Anne Desmet's work, above, was one of last year's choices), and so was making my way idly through the galleries of the last few years. There's some excellent stuff, along with plenty that doesn't take my fancy, but presumably did the selectors. Discerning Eye has six selectors who can each invite artists of their choice but must also choose a fraction of their selection (check the site for more detailed info) from open submissions. The works of each selector are then hung together, so that there are effectively six mini exhibitions. Some artists are chosen by more than one selector (though different works, natch) and some artists are chosen year after year for remarkably similar works. I guess if you have a winning formula, why change it?

Hi there
I make prints and book arts, though nowhere near as often as I'd like - no good reason, just an inability to get on with things. I occasionally go on about landscape (with which I am mildly obsessed) and various of its elements, and I like to pass comment on exhibitions I visit. Archives
