About
Artizan welcomes South-East based artist Brenda Hartill as we continue with our series of solo shows at our dedicated printmaking and sculpture gallery on Lucius Street.
Brenda has had an extensive career spanning several decades as an experimental printmaker and mixed-media artist, widely known for her richly textured, embossed works that abstract the essence of the landscape. Working across collagraph, etching, encaustic, painting, and collage, her practice is driven by a fascination with erosion, weather patterns, growth formations, and the universal organic forms found in nature. These themes are expressed through intricate layers of material and texture, often enhanced with silver and gold leaf, creating luminous surfaces that shift with the light.
Originally trained in theatrical design at the Central School of Art and Design, Hartill's early career in stage lighting and set construction informs her approach to light and structure. Her work has evolved from careful, figurative drawing to an expressive, abstract visual language, where layering and materiality are central to her process. She describes her approach as sculptural, building up embossed surfaces, cutting, collaging, and carving into materials before adding colour, resulting in works that are as much about physicality as they are about image.
Together with Brenda we have selected works that span her career and which show the breadth of her printmaking practice.
Brenda's exhibition will be hosted in our main gallery space, alongside our seasonal Summer Sculpture Exhibition which features works from, Emma Baldwin, Emmy Palmer, Lucy D'Auvergne and Zoe Clare.
The exhibition will launch on Friday 11th July 6 - 8 pm
