– AND WE WELCOME TWO MORE EXCITING ARTISTS into Prism's international exchange project!
Having just had the pleasure of welcoming distinguished artists Sumi Perera and Norman McBeath into Prism's exhibiting programme we are now delighted to announce two more exciting artists have joined us: Jurjen Ravenhorst from the Netherlands, and Haruko Cho from Tokyo who, apart from her exhibiting around the globe, is also the extremely energetic curator of Tokyo's B-gallery in Tokyo's Ikebukuro district.
Jurjen Ravenhorst has been a very active printmaker and teacher in the Netherlands for many years, and is principally interested in the art of stone lithography. He has exhibited all over the world.
With a perhaps characteristically 'European' sensibility towards graphic represenations and formalism he has recently taken to making diptychs where separate sheets of etching and lithographic prints are married in a single work. This highlights intrinsic differences in tactile surface qualities, but also raises stirrring questions about the meanings carried by the methodologies, compounded by the differing graphic languages which might seem to be implicit in the opposing techniques.

Haruko Cho exhibits very widely and has won numerous prizes, including at the Krakow Triennial. Her very physical works explore the possibilities inherent within a tightly constrained focus on reforming her 'B-cushions', which she makes and then twists and binds, and through printing onto rough Lokta Nepalese papers.The 'jittering' linear backgrounds introduce an air of ambiguity which propels the images into a provocative monumentality.
Haruko is also highly motivated regarding her efforts to encourage international artistic exchanges and uses her Tokyo B-gallery extensively for that purpose.
The noted Scottish artist Norman McBeath is best known for his remarkable photographs of the famous and powerful, with fifty portraits at the National Portrait Galleries of London and Edinburgh.
But he is also a fine exponent of the regrettably now uncommon art of photogravure. We are delighted to be able to show his examples of this technique alongside the many different processes we elucidate in our exhibitions, and we are even more delighted to be showing the expressive work of this important Scottish creative artist whose poetic sensitivity to people and places is both sophisticated and deeply moving.
We are delighted to announce that the Sri Lankan-born British artist Sumi Perera has accepted our invitation to exhibit her complex process-driven work with us. Again it is a great foil to work of our other associates, revealing and explicating the underlying ethos.
Sumi had an early interest in architecture but elected to study medicine, becoming a doctor before capitulating to the pull of making creative work originally exploring the book form, and usually employing some form of experimental printmaking.
Sumi is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, and maintains a very busy schedule of exhibiting nationally and internationally.
