A NEW winter exhibition will highlight the beauty of nature with artworks from two renowned printmakers.
The Winter Print Show III will be on display at North House Gallery in Manningtree from November 13 until January 9.
Visitors will be able to enjoy masterpieces by Kate Boxer and Jason Hicklin, two artists who have regularly exhibited at the gallery for more than 20 years.
Jason Hicklin, who made etchings of the bridges and banks of the Thames from Hammersmith to Greenwich 30 years ago, will be showing a set of 12 small pieces, which are the revisited version of his The River: Part One prints.
During lockdown, Hicklin revisited those prints and his sketchbooks, producing a new set of twelve small etchings under the same title.
A spokesman for the gallery said: “The etching plate is burnished smooth, free of ink, and the bare paper does the rest.”
Katie Boxer’s work, on the other hand, will feature images for the book called The Sea Is Not Made Of Water by Adam Nicholson.
Boxer’s work is focused on drypoint and carborundum prints of animals, birds and characters from literature, history, art and film.
A spokesman added: “The original prints, ten times the size of the reproductions in the book, and in colour, depict a prawn with attitude, a red waving sea anemone, and beady-eyed crabs.”
Art lovers can also enjoy prints of Heraclitus, Plato and Aristotle and Victorian naturalist Philip Henry Gosse.
