Artwork description:

UNFRAMED VERSION: One of an ongoing series of original wood engravings exploring the unique atmosphere and architecture of London's Tube stations via light and dark, texture and space.

This work presents an atmospheric view of one of London's - and the world's - oldest underground railway stations.

Actual image size is 15x11cm; hand-printed on a larger sheet of paper to allow for mounting and framing. FRAMED prints from this edition are also available via Artfinder.

Wood engraving is a form of fine art printmaking. The artist uses specialised tools to create the image in relief (and reverse) on the end grain of a block of hardwood - usually boxwood - by removing the 'white' parts of the image. This technique is painstaking and highly technical, and allows for the creation of exquisitely detailed works. Rebecca's wood engravings have been exhibited in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, with the Society of Wood Engravers, and in galleries across the world from Japan to the USA.

Materials used:

Wood engraving, ink on paper
