The Watermill Gallery’s annual Modern Print Masters show (1 October-12 December 2011) is a celebration of the medium, exemplifying how artists have worked with colour, line and tone, through the exacting skills of screenprinting and lithography.

During the year, Gallery owners Kevin and Jayne Ramage travel to London and further afield, to source prints on the lookout for key pieces as well as unexpected finds.

Reflecting the magnificent exhibition at Tate Modern, the show features a selection of works by Miro. Alongside these are three screenprints by the late John Hoyland and a dramatic three-sheet woodblock image by Sir Terry Frost. The exhibition also showcases prints by contemporary Scottish artists, with two beautiful pieces by Edinburgh artist Scott Campbell, as well as works by Barbara Rae, Alan Davie, Adrian Wiszniewski and Kate Downie.

The message of Kevin and Jayne Ramage, is that, rather than recession-denial, in these uncertain times, art is one of life’s more pleasurable acquisitions, with works fitting a range of budgets, from large, key pieces to a series of vibrant, very affordable lithographs by Miro.

Kevin Ramage says…

‘The scope of this exhibition is wide– without compromising on the benchmark of quality set in previous years. There will be over 50 works by more than 30 artists from Britain and Europe on display. If you are a print collector, or want to make that first ‘special purchase’ you won’t be disappointed by what’s on offer, and in the present climate, better to have you money hanging on the walls than in the bank!‘
