Exhibition Record
Contemporary British Printmakers
Now in its third landmark year, the Contemporary British Printmakers exhibition returns to Delamore Arts. Since its debut in 2024, this showcase has grown into a highly anticipated part of the Delamore programme, establishing a dedicated space to celebrate the intricate, tactile, and masterful world of original print. Building on the success of our previous collections, the 2026 exhibition continues to challenge the misconceptions of the medium. Printmaking is far more than reproduction; it is a primary art form—as vital as oil on canvas or bronze in the round. This year, we delve deeper into the interplay between tradition and the avant-garde, featuring artists who respect the thousand-year history of the craft while pushing the boundaries of what is possible today. From the bold, graphic relief of woodcuts and linocuts to the atmospheric depth of etchings, lithography, and monotypes, the works on display represent a pinnacle of technical discipline. Visitors will explore a curated selection where every mark is a deliberate act of foresight, and every final piece is the result of a transformative journey through the press. Artizan Collective is honoured to continue our collaboration with Delamore Arts. Together, we celebrate the extraordinary creatives who are not just maintaining the heritage of printmaking but are actively shaping its future.
