At Rabley Summer Exhibition 2023, we're thrilled to launch a NEW SERIES: Walking & Place by Neil Bousfield 10 Prints. 2022 – Ongoing. . The use of grids suggest a mapping and plotting process used to make sense of places and landscape. Dog walking acts as a metaphor for routine and daily experiences that root us to places that become home. . The engravings here are from a series of 10 multiple block relief engravings currently in development. They explore the notion of a dog’s sense of place, of how mapping territory through routine dog walking builds an attachment to the places where we live both for the walker and their dogs. . The whole of Neil Bousfield's speical 'Walking & Place' series is live on our online print shop now and currently exhibiting at Rabley Summer Exhibition, book a day to visit throughout the summer via our website. . Featured prints in post are: Shoreline 2022, Multiple block relief engraving, 18 x 25 cm, Edition 40 The Calling 2022, Multiple block relief engraving, 18 x 25 cm, Edition 30.

Its very special honour to share this portrait from Eileen Cooper RA @eileen_cooper_ra of the wonderful Rebecca Salter PRA @rsalterra, both glorious Rabley artists and women. Repost: "Thank you Rebecca Salter for posing for me yesterday. Rebecca arrived in a spectacular outfit and insisted on posing with Oscar who adored her (she was well supplied with dog treats). Rebecca is an extraordinary painter and printmaker, formally a ceramicist, she has written two books on Japanese woodblock prints and in her own work combines both eastern and western traditions . Rebecca is also the first female President of the Royal Academy of Arts, since it begun in 1768. She’s a busy woman, with great integrity, always warm and generous. We had great fun discussing amongst other things, the joys of being a middle child and decided that we are both peacemakers with good negotiating skills….. comes in handy ." * * * #fromlife #contemporaryportraits #portrait #drawing #royalacademy @rsalterra @royalacademyarts @rableygallery @eileen_cooper_ra
