Generation - A4 print of lino print by Joseph Salmon

ARTIST STATEMENT: As part of our Y10 coursework, we studied lino-printing and were asked to plan and print a reduction print. I decided to challenge myself with a portrait of my Granddad who is an Artist. I looked at Steve Bennett’s lino-prints for inspiration and technique. Bennett often uses the contrast of orange and blues in his prints which I enjoyed recreating in my print. ABOUT THE ARTIST: This piece is Shortlisted in the 2021 Sovereign Art Foundation Students Prize in Guernsey. Joseph created this piece aged 15 while studying at St Sampson's High School.
