Raised in a literary household in Calcutta for the first 7 years of my life [and beyond] and with grandparents the products of Colonial India, I was bred on a diet of quintessentially British classics. The English countrysides of Gerald Durrel, sleepy villages of iconic ghost stories, the curves and bends of roads in Enid Blyon’s thrilling Cornwall, and spirited locations of Roald Dahl novels, made up my version of Britain.
The Emma Mason gallery specialises in original prints by British Printmakers working from the post war period to the present day. This is the stuff that my dreams were made of.
The printmakers represented are all from a generation of British printmakers committed to the art of printmaking. Many were lecturers in the printmaking departments of Art Schools around the country, working over the last 50 years. They include Robert Travner at Eastbourne and St Martins, Geoffery Elliot at Brighton, Richard Vicary at Epsom and Shrewsbury, Richard Beer at Chelsea, Garrick Palmer at Winchester and Edwin La Dell at the Royal College.
