ANDREW HAMBLETON

Statement

I'm a painter/printmaker at present concentrating on lanscapes 
and urban landscapes. Lately I've found the link between painting 
and monoprinting important.  It's the immediacy that I try to capture 
in a monoprint. Most of my early work has been  in etching a medium 
I greatly respect but of late find the process too slow. Included is an 
early etching/aquatint. 

More recently I've concentrated on Woodcut I enjoy it's direct and  
expressionistic qualities. I've been out of the 'loop' for a while and 
only seriously  concentrated on making prints again, the last couple 
of years. In the past I've exhibited in print shows both here and abroad, 
Biennale exhibitions in South  East Asia as well. Have just shown two
new watercolours at theHaworth Art Gallery, Accrington.  Showing a 
print with the PMC in New Zealand at the moment.
