The final year students' showcase
This exhibition of drawings featured the Japanese artist Takahiro Motegi's impressions of England and my impressions of Japan.
My practice is predominantly based in print and I produce woodcuts, linocuts and screen prints – or a combination of these media. I’m often inspired by films: for example the woodcut ‘Maggie and Tony’ depicts Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung in a scene from Wong Kar-Wai’s ‘In the mood for love’ and the screen print ‘Hero’ is an impression of Zhang Zuyi from Zhang Yimou’s ‘Hero’.
I love the barbaric nature of wood and lino cuts and I’m greatly influenced by the Expressionist woodcuts of Frans Masereel and Erich Heckel and the work of Neo-expressionist Georg Baselitz.
My prints interact with text too – in ‘Bronson on a Japanese ticket’ a sketch of the eponymous film star is drawn over Japanese lettering.
I also produce ink drawings, which often react to existing printed text (as in ‘John McEnroe’) or Sudoku grids that I have screen printed (for example: ‘Woman on train’). The expressive quality of my drawings counterbalance the bold graphics and flat colours of beermats too, in another series of interactions with existing printed matter.
