Sophie Layton : Building Space
13 – 30 Nov Private View on Tuesday 12 Nov 6pm – 9pm
Sophie Layton’s monoprints are a breath of fresh air: technically excellent, intellectually stimulating but, most essentially, beautiful works of art. “I aim to create expression through the use of colour, in an effort to achieve a rich, painterly quality in print. I am inspired by the quality of the ‘uncanny’; I want to evoke an eerie disquiet in the viewer. I enjoy the trial and error nature of making a monotype; more organic than many printmaking processes, it feels very natural to me. I love its immediacy.” – Sophie Layton
