Over the past few weeks and months I have been working with fellow artist and friend Eddie Price, we frequently have a tête-à-tête and discuss artists, ideas and a smattering of philosophy. This coming Thursday is an exhibition of his work that I have curated with fellow artist Alison Kershaw. The exhibition is at the AWOL gallery on the fifth floor of Hope Mill, more details below.
Prolific Manchester Artist Edward William
Price has been working tirelessly to create his own inimitable style. A blend
of traditional woodcuts, graphic arts and xerographic prints form the
foundation of a body of work that spans a quarter of a century.
The process starts with an
idea or visioning, rooted deeply in the sub-conscious, or found in biomorphic
shapes or inspired by the work of another artist. Then through a very laborious
and traditional approach the work evolves organically sometimes over numerous
drawings and renditions. The finished piece is then transformed through the
reproductive process of xerography and worked on further.
A retrospective exhibition of artwork coming this month to the AWOL Gallery at Hope Mill in Ancoats.
