Nigel Grist
Nigel Grist is a printmaker whose work spans a variety of techniques, including linocut, collagraph, drypoint, and etching, often combining methods to create layered, textured images. Some pieces incorporate chine collé, adding depth and nuance to his compositions. With a background as a biologist, programmer, and now a Dartmoor guide, Nigel draws on diverse experiences to inform his subject matter. His work frequently features floral and faunal elements, blended with abstraction and imagination, often inspired by microscopic cellular structures or marine invertebrates. Landscapes, particularly Dartmoor’s ancient granite terrain, also feature prominently in his prints. His art reflects the layers of history—Bronze Age relics, medieval remnants, and Victorian features—that define these environments. Nigel’s goal is not precise representation but rather an evocation of place, capturing its essence and the hidden stories it holds.

Exhibition Record
Contemporary British Printmakers on the English Riviera
Following a successful month at Delamore Arts, Artizan Collective are pleased to be bringing their Contemporary British Printmakers Exhibition to their gallery on Lucius Street. From woodcut to etching, lithography to mezzotint, monotyping to mokulito, the variety and diversity of printmaking techniques makes it a near endlessly explorable art form, and one that has defined trends and tastes for centuries. As a practice and craft, it owes much of this evolution to the dialogue that grew between those that pursued its practical use as a tool for reproducing text and image, and the artists that sought to exploit the opportunities this bore for their own creative expression. Today, the spidering and innumerable tributaries that the practice has taken, lend their successes both to the worlds of modern publishing and printing and to one of the most exciting art markets of the 21st century. Contemporary British Printmakers 2025 is our second collaboration with Delamore Arts, bringing together printmakers from across the UK, showcasing original works and exploring a variety of techniques that span over a thousand years of the artform. The exhibition will sit alongside our Spring Sculpture Exhibition featuring works of Abi Higgins, Maria Moorhouse, Rosa Wiland Holmes, Philippa de Burlett and Almut Woolard. The exhibition will launch on 6th June and will then run from 5th June – 6th July Thursday - Saturday 10 am - 5 pm
