| Angie Lewin Print |
Have just seen the Judith Stroud linocuts at Cynon Valley Museum and was very impressed. The colours of the images are much brighter than I remember from seeing them at the Junction in Swansea. The designs and use of colour is excellent and the marks are very skillfully made. For me the strongest designs are those using a very dark key block which add to their graphic qualities. Judith has chosen to leave marks made by the carving process so the viewer is in no doubt these are lino cuts. I thought the prices of £75 for an unframed print were very reasonable for work of this quality .
The main motif of this series of prints is looking through the vegetation towards distant landmarks and buildings. People feature rarely though there are a few birds and lots of umbellifers. This low level view is an approach that is a hallmark of the prints of Angie Lewin who often combines lino with woodcuts, see above. Angie Lewin keeps her images very clean so it can be difficult to see how they are made and as I have never seen one in the flesh I can't comment on their intensity of colour though I do like her designs.
