‘Outside’ at The North Wall Arts Centre

About ‘Outside’ at The North Wall Arts Centre

‘Outside’ is an exhibition of three Oxfordshire based printmakers, Lizzie Wheeler, Manja Scott, Susan Wheeler, at The North Wall Arts Centre in Oxford’s Summertown. The printmakers connect their artistic vision through their shared appreciation of the natural world.

In the show, expect to see a tour de force of printmaking as the artist’s share their appreciation of the natural world, working in five different print processes.

Susan Wheeler’s work is based on drawings done when out walking or in her garden. These drawings are translated into the more exacting language of the linocut that results in a decorative quality.

Manja Scott enjoys finding new ways of combining different printing methods; in dry point, carborundum, linocut, intaglio or monoprint. Whether the subject matter is figurative or abstract, Manja keeps spontaneity flowing from the beginning to the end of making the print.

Lizzie Wheeler’s prints are about the way a place makes her feel. Her work combines monoprint, etching, and linoprint to evoke these feelings through a lively interplay of colour, texture and line.

Manja, Lizzie and Susan are members of the Oxford Printmakers. Susan and Lizzie are members of the Oxford Art Society.

The North Wall Gallery is open on Monday to Friday 10.00am to 4.00pm, and from noon to 4.00pm on Saturdays. The gallery is closed on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
