Paul Catherall - Lino prints

April — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 13:42:45 +0000

We are very excited to have Paul Catherall as one of our gallery artists.

Catherall’s architectural prints draw from 20th Century poster design and focus on structures that are part of the urban environment with a clean and sharp palette inspired by commercial art of the 1950’s and 1960’s Catherall depicts various well-known landmarks from London, New York and Brighton.

Catherall identifies the established and continually developing skylines of his locations, treated equally in measure. Catherall displays an expert eye for composition and colour; and great draughtsmanship, achieving ultimately a delicate balance between classic commercial design and contemporary urban landscape. His linocuts have become synonymous with Transport for London and Tate Modern.

If you are interested in any of these prints, please phone 01273 773776, or email us.

Next Exhibition - Julie Doucet

April — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:33:38 +0000

We at Castor & Pollux are very pleased to announce our first exhibition in 2010. The sun has come out at last, and we are preparing for an show of lino cuts from Julie Doucet.

Opening on the 23 April, this small, but perfectly formed group of prints were made as illustrations for ‘Chroniques de New York’ by Jean-Francois Jouanne.

Born in 1965 in Montréal, Julie Doucet was educated at a girl Catholic school. Then she began Fine Arts studies, first at the CÉGEP du Vieux Montréal (the equivalent of junior college), later at the Université du Québec à Montréal, where she completed a degree in printing arts. During her studies Julie Doucet took interest into drawing comics, and eventually devoted herself completely to that funny art form. Her comic book, Dirty Plotte began life as a photocopied fanzine. In it Doucet would document in french and in english her day to day life, her dreams, angsts, fantasies. The series was first published in 1991 by Drawn & Quarterly, in the comic book form. Shortly afterwards she won the prestigious Harvey Award for Best New Talent. She left for New York city, where she spent a year related in ’My New York Diary’ In the 1990s, she abandoned the medium of comic books and went back to printing. Woodcuts, linocuts, silkscreen printing, followed by an abundant production of artist’s books. She took part in many group exhibitions and, finally, in 2006 she had her own solo exhibition of her print work at the galerie B-312. Julie Doucet now writes and makes collages. Mostly.

See more of her prints here.

Fanny Shorter - Tiny birds

April — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 15:45:04 +0000

Ms. Shorter explained that an exhibition she was showing in had a limit to the size of picture she could show. She then went on to select all the small birds that would fit, and made beautifully executed prints of these tiny birds-actual size.

Save 6 music!

We’re so sad at the news that 6 music is going to be axed. It’s kept us happy in the workshops for the last few years, and we’ve found loads of great music to buy and play to you in the gallery!

Those guys really know their stuff … give it a listen while you can and if you like it please sign the online petition to save it. Thanks.
