Etchings By Peter Rapp

We have a new addition to material this week in the form of artist/ printmaker Peter Rapp. A member of the East London Printmakers http://www.eastlondonprintmakers.co.uk, Peter is driven by the stories of politics, religion and war that are so prominent in the world today. He is interested in whether we see ourselves as victims or as powerful, and the paradox of how our search for identity drives our need for belonging. We have a small selection of his etchings available to buy, along with two of his handprinted/ hand made Kissing Books. We hope to do a show for Peter in 2010.
