Printed art celebrated at free UAL exhibition

A new exhibition showcasing print in all its forms, from 3D printing to magazine publishing, will be launched next week by the University of the Arts London.

Fresh Prints will run from 22 April to 7 June at the UAL Showroom gallery in central London. It will showcase the work of students, graduates and staff across the university’s six colleges, and has been curated by UAL’s Student Enterprise and Employability service.

"Traditional techniques are well-represented, but often given a modern twist," said curator of the exhibition Natalie Stevens.

"Wet-plate photography, offset litho printing, long-established craft skills and intricate hand-drawing take their place alongside, and incorporate, digital printing, design and technology."

Items that will be on display include a series of 3D printed sculptures by graduate Almundena Romero, which were produced by translating the data of sports professionals’ anthropometric profiles; and stitched illustrations by former Central St Martins student Evelin Kasikov.

Admission to the exhibition is free. For more information visit www.arts.ac.uk/showroom
