Jess Townsend

£0.00
Jess Townsend’s prints illustrate the serendipity of nature, focusing on a moment of beauty that may otherwise be undiscovered or unseen. As a starting point for her practice she immerses herself in familiar landscapes and looks for the extraordinary amongst the commonplace and familiar. From her sketches and pinhole photography and through the process of Intaglio and relief printmaking she creates complex images. Within each plate she captures and conveys imprinted motifs of collected materials and patterns using Japanese washi for added luminosity. By exaggerating details in her prints she evokes an undercurrent of mystery and explores a magical sense of place. The submitted etching is part of a series exploring alternate nocturnal perspectives. She has used the night sky and stars to convey warped and blinkered perspectives. ‘Luminesence’ is a ghostly moonlit seascape, captured using a pinhole camera and developed into a photopolymer etching in which she challenges the viewer to consider the luminal feeling of the cosmos and the traces of human hardship in an abandoned landscape. Jess studied at Goldsmiths College of Art, London and has been a member of Spike Print Studio in Bristol since 2006. She has exhibited widely since 2009 and highlights include: • The Exposition Collective at L’Atelier Aux Lilas, Paris • Hepworth Wakefield Print Fair • Royal West of England, Academy Open 168 and 169, Bristol • Summer Exhibition, Royal Academy, London • Associates Exhibition Penwith Gallery, St Ives • Exhibiting at Project Babel, Jyväskylä, Finland later this year.

  • Our pioneering exhibition model of 50% specialist galleries and 50% independent artists is unique in supporting artists who may not have the opportunity to show in an international art fair which generally rely on gallery representation. 

    WCPF's global art platform hosts an open call that gives artists the cchance to have their work reviewed by a panel of leading industry experts, with successful artworks going on to show in the Fair's 'Curated Hang' section alongside celebrated names and work from renowned galleries. 

    This exposure provides further opportunities for artist awards, prizes and residencies, to significant acquisitions and gallery representation.

  • Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair only deals in original prints and does not work with reproduction prints which are copies of other artworks, and where the term 'print' can be misunderstood.

    An ‘Original Print’ is a work of art that was conceived as a print in its first instance, as opposed to a reproduction of another original work.

    This means the artist has set about to create a print, whether it is an etching, mono-print, lithograph etc. rather than simply taking a photograph or scan of an existing artwork and printing out a number of ‘reproduction’ prints like a poster. The artist decides on the number of editions within the print run and number each accordingly (eg. 1/30). There is no difference in value between the first and the last print within the edition as each one is an original artwork.

    Once all editions have been printed the matrix is destroyed or repurposed so no others can be made.
