Far Horizons
Works of Ian Brooks
Artizan welcomes artist Ian Brooks as we continue with our series of solo shows at our dedicated printmaking and sculpture gallery on Lucius Street.
‘Far Horizons’ presents stunning landscape etchings from Antarctica to Svalbard, by way of hilltops in the Pennines around the artist's Yorkshire home. Works transform remote and sometimes inhospitable settings into works of austere beauty, using traditional techniques like sugar lift and spit-bite aquatint to capture the rugged, fragile essence of each scene.
Through the work, Ian Brooks aims to capture the distinct sense of place of each location – a combination of landscape and weather and his personal response to the place. Achieving this requires a balance between the ruggedness of harsh conditions and a delicacy of execution to capture subtle contrasts and details in the landscape.
Ian’s exhibition will be hosted in our main gallery space whilst in our Courtyard Gallery our printmaker open exhibition continues. Each space will also feature specially selected 3D works from our seasonal sculpture artists.
There will be an evening launch on 18th April 6-8 PM
Gallery Openings Thursday - Saturday 10 am - 5 pm
