Introducing another of our selectors for our International Original print Exhibition, Johanna Love! ⁠ Johanna is an artist, researcher and academic, currently she is the course leader for MA Printmaking at Camberwell College of Art and Senior Lecturer in Fine Art Printmaking at the University of Brighton.⁠ In 2022 Johanna became Scientific Associate at The Natural History Museum in London. ⁠ Her interests combine art and science. She is interested in making images that operate at the limits of human perception and often invoke ideas of the technological sublime, through print, drawing and photographic languages, often combining all together, using landscape and architectural subject matter, to generate unstable, shifting material surfaces, and visually complex and unfathomable images. Here, the fractured, open and complex images offer an arena within which we can contemplate themes of time, memory and mortality.⁠ ⁠ She has several years' experience of peer reviewing and selecting exhibitions in various art and printmaking contexts.⁠ "I love looking at work. I think the most interesting part is where you see the subject really chiming with the way the work has been visually realised - from the most simple approach to the most complex - I think you do see this spark in the work. It's all interesting to me. I am a nosey person so that helps!"⁠ ⁠ ⚠️DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES MONDAY 16 SEPTEMBER 11:59pm⁠ All forms of printmaking are eligible.

Sam has previously been a selector for A level work in schools but this is her first time selecting for an open submission show. We asked her how she feels about being on the panel and what she will be looking for from the entries. “I appreciate it can be an emotional but exciting process. I am hoping to see work that pulls me, draws me in, unsettles me, maybe makes me happy, but leaves an imprint that I will remember.” DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES 16 SEPTEMBER. All forms of printmaking are eligible and we welcome submissions from artists all across the world. Enter online via the RE website https://www.re-printmakers.com/international-original-print-exhibition The exhibition of works selected will be @banksidegallery in November.
