Bryan Whiteley  – Paintings and prints 

Featured Artist – October 2021

Bryan Whiteley

Bryan was a student of Ipswich and Camberwell Schools of Art, studied Fine Art painting and printmaking and taught for many years in secondary education. Throughout that time he continued to paint, print and exhibit and his work is held in collections both in the UK and Europe.

He acquired his own Albion Press in 2009 and began to explore anew the techniques of lino printing, collagraphs and the use of both plywood and MDF board. Bryan is particularly drawn to landscape and the expression of the forces of nature through light, colour and texture. He loves the art of engraving, the chance effects and the whole mechanical process. This is offset by an exploration of the more expressive characteristics of scratched and cut MDF board and the use of caustic soda to etch the surface of the lino.
