JAC+HGP Printmaking Sans Frontiers, linocut program: 1991 – 2023
By artist/master printmaker Jonathan Comerford
www.hardgroundprintmakers.com

Brainchild of South African artist, Jonathan Comerford, the exhibition will comprise works by
eminent artists from Africa, the UK, Europe, and America, all freely using the egalitarian technique of the (lino) block print to express their ideas and observations about today’s complex, highly visible, and somewhat discordant, world. The artists represented – some with printmaking experience, others ostensibly painters or sculptors - have been given free rein to interpret the notion of art without borders in their way and the results of these carved impressions have been excitingly realized in the printmaking workshop by master printer, Jonathan, himself.
The works on exhibition span a period of over 30 years of collaborative printmaking by Jonathan Comerford.
The theme of the exhibition refers to the reaching out by Jonathan, to artists across the borders of visual art practice, culture, race, and gender identity and inclusion.

There are 46 artists represented with 54 prints being exhibited.
