Lumiere London on the South Bank

Starting on Thursday 18th to 21st parts of the capital will be transformed by a magnificent and imaginitive display of light designed by international and national artists.  Transfiguring familiar landmarks and architecture, it is a sight not to be missed!

Why not come early?  Drop in and see us while darkness falls, grab something to eat and then watch Eye Love London - the Coca Cola London Eye as it illuminates the South Bank in a incandescent fanfare of light.  Alternatively, bring your children down for the day and start off with a visit to Sea Life, followed by Shrek's Adventure pop in to Southbank Printmakers (we have chocolate) then hop accross to Bernie Spain Gardens for the Bottle Festoon.

A Lumiere London highlight is just around the corner from us on the Riverside Walkway.  The Wave, an installation of 40 triangular interactive gates that respond to your presence (and everybody elses!) allowing you to participate first hand in a piece of art.

Whatever you decide to do, enjoy this Great Start to 2018, and if you include us in your plans, we will be delighted to see you!

Southbank Printmakers welcomes Hil Scott

Hil has recently joined the Gallery and brings with her a unique take on life in London in the form of  mono prints, collages and solar etchings.  She is also experimenting with combining digital images with traditionally created images - so watch this space!
Hil first ventured in to printmaking in 1965 when she took a two year Foundation course in Printing and Painting at the City and Guilds School of Art in Kennington.

 She was awarded a Diploma in Fine Art Graphics in 1976 and whilst preparing for the diploma oversaw and designed floats for the Lord Mayor's Show.

Hil's current work explores the changing face of London - the demolition of buildings and the rebuilding of new, the movement of people through the city and the oddities of detail and reflection and strange corners that occur in a large city.                                           

                                                                   

A favourite subject is the London Eye.  You can see more on her website

Her prints can be seen at the Gallery at Unit12, Gabriel's Wharf, 56 Upper Ground, London SE1 9PP where they are so much bigger and better than these samples !
