21 January Meet the artist and Emma Stibbon RA Territories of Print 1994 – 2019 – book signing. 4-7pm “Stibbon draws from the printmaker’s prosaic materials images which are marvellous and compelling, images which expand our imagination and leave us awe-struck” Gill Saunders, Senior Curator (Prints), V&A Museum Selected woodcut and intaglio prints from the recent book publication 'Emma Stibbon, Territories of Print, 1994 – 2019' will be exhibited with Rabley Gallery Stand 12 at the London Art Fair 22-26 Jan 2020. This is an insight into Stibbon as ‘artist as witness’ to our landscape and environments on the cusp of change: polar regions; volcanoes; deserts; tidal edges coastal and cities in transition urban. Through the alchemy of printmaking Stibbon envelopes us in her experiences with monumental woodcuts and tactile intaglio prints, where volcanic ash is crusted embedded into the printing plate. There is a seriousness that underpins this endeavour, in a combination of craft and emotion that is unflinching, raw and questioning. Emma Stibbon was born in 1962 in Münster, Germany. She studied for her Fine Art BA at Goldsmiths, University of London; and an MA in Research Fine Art at the Univ. of the West of England, Bristol. Stibbon was elected Royal Academician in 2013.
